The Island Kingdom of Arazian is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maximilian Xenith Oblivion V with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.511 billion Arazianians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crevillage. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arazianian economy, worth a remarkable 1,139 trillion Ataxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 133,859 Ataxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, meteorologists warn of fog just past 4pm daily, and official government guidance encourages binge behaviors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arazian's national animal is the Hemezortzi Kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arazian is ranked 283,478th in the world and 9th in Alvarez for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,582.79 Standard Monetary Units.
