The Federation of Arengin Union is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Vladimir Grodick with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.054 billion Arenginians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union City. The average income tax rate is 40.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arenginian economy, worth 879 trillion Aren Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 145,334 Aren Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Union City as a backdrop, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Union City make great practice for foreign snipers, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and the army is spending millions cloning khaki-colored dinosaurs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arengin Union's national animal is the Northen Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arengin Union is ranked 34,962^nd in the world and 12^th in Federation of Allies for Largest Populations, with 6.05 billion Capita.
