The Republic of The arsynian confederacy is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.745 billion arsynian confederacyians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant arsynian confederacyian economy, worth 25.7 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,356 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The arsynian confederacy's national animal is the hawk.

The arsynian confederacy is ranked 117,581^st in the world and 2,889^th in Suspicious for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 131.8 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
