The ArchEmperacy of Areutia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by ArchEmperor Iez Aum Talash with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.357 billion Areutians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Envar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Areutian economy, worth 320 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 136,022 Crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 451,983 per year while the poor average 30,528, a ratio of 14.8 to 1.

Beatboxing has replaced the 'Wilhelm scream' as the nation's most popular sound effect, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, and illegal moonshine operations get taken out with laser-guided airstrikes. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Areutia's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Areutia is ranked 174,025^th in the world and 39^th in Ensio for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,126.59 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
