The Republic of Arohitostok is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 626 million Arohitostokians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.9%.

The all-consuming Arohitostokian economy, worth 60.3 trillion Lumiones a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 96,271 Lumiones, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons.

Arohitostok's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
