Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.785 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Administration Hall. The average income tax rate is 49%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Arranta's border, Mysterious pie filling is one of the most popular forenames in Arranta, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, and badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arranta's national animal is the mysterious pie filling, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Reformed Omnianism, and its currency is the credit.
