The Incorporated States of Ted Arroway is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The democratic, devout population of 7.879 billion Single Fathers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of W9GFO. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Single Father economy, worth 449 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,087 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and homosexuality is a crime punishable by death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ted Arroway's national animal is the Quasar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ted Arroway is ranked 30,610th in the world and 66th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,330.26527362968 days.
