The Armed Republic of Arnatious is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Aero with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.599 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arnatious City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arnatious's national animal is the Barn Owl, and its currency is the Arcus.
