The Shakugan of Ariusgrad is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Arius of Alexandria with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 22.19 billion Arians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ariusburg. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ariusgradian economy, worth a remarkable 3,654 trillion denarii a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 164,697 denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", and internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ariusgrad's national animal is the kraken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ariusgrad is ranked 1,115^th in the world and 2^nd in Philippines for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 7,998.28 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
