The Protectorate of Arechian Afrika is a large, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 81 million Arechian Afrikans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Arechian Afrikan economy, worth 2.83 trillion Europäisches Gelds a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,940 Europäisches Gelds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is relatively low. Arechian Afrika's national animal is the Nördliche Union-Eule, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arechian Afrika is ranked 193,760^th in the world and 3^rd in Arechias for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
