The Nördliche Bundesländer of Arechias is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 591 million Unionites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosenstadt. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Unioner economy, worth 26.8 trillion Europäisches Gelds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,393 Europäisches Gelds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Unionites, Leader's Twitcher account is typically used to share Nördliche Union-Eule memes rather than government policy, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arechias's national animal is the Nördliche Union-Eule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arechias is ranked 88,797^th in the world and 20^th in Union of Allied States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
