The Kingdom of Arazatana is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Matthew with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 2.274 billion Arazatans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of C4 Territory. The average income tax rate is 35.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Arazatan economy, worth 278 trillion Azarns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,478 Azarns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arazatana's national animal is the Canary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism and Atheism.

Arazatana is ranked 312,483^rd in the world and 4^th in Desintegratia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.9 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
