The Grapes of Wrath of ARoE-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 22.149 billion ARoE-1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse ARoE-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,869 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,399 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ARoE-1's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

ARoE-1 is ranked 48,485^th in the world and 1^st in Arab Republic of Egypt for Most Corrupt Governments, with 41.75 kickbacks per hour.
