The Humanoid Republic of Aragesh is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Joe Hart with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 28.701 billion Arageshians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Houston TX. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Arageshian economy, worth an astonishing 11,088 trillion Yuxans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 386,358 Yuxans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded Aragesh to disarm, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, and communists in Aragesh note that wealth should be equal but that some should have more of that equality than others. Crime is totally unknown. Aragesh's national animal is the Sea Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanism.

Aragesh is ranked 2,915th in the world and 11th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 3,811.70589384 days.
