The Kingdom of Aroale is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Supreme Governor Andrea Contarini with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 12.491 billion Aroaleans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Reale. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aroalean economy, worth a remarkable 1,471 trillion euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,815 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, and the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aroale's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aroale is ranked 46,018^th in the world and 543^rd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 158.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
