The People's Republic of Aarstateon is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 478 million Aarstateonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Aarstateonian economy, worth 32.0 trillion AARS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,029 AARS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Aarstateon, the rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities, videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aarstateon's national animal is the Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aarstateon is ranked 143,296th in the world and 2nd in High Oak Union for Smartest Citizens, with 30.78 quips per hour.
