The Holy Roman Empire of The Arenian Republic is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Alexander Arenas IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.459 billion Arenians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdras. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Arenian Republician economy, worth 664 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 192,122 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,367,338 per year while the poor average 8,921, a ratio of 153 to 1.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Arenian Republic's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Arenian Republic is ranked 12,629^th in the world and 10^th in Covenant Shores for Highest Average Incomes, with 192,122.27 Standard Monetary Units.
