The Federalized Oceanic States of Areulia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Finni Mertz with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.623 billion Areulians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arutopia. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Areulian economy, worth 958 trillion Areulian Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 207,340 Areulian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Finni Mertz's preferred candidate has lost second place by three votes, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime is totally unknown. Areulia's national animal is the Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Areulia is ranked 19,795^th in the world and 6^th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 32,905.43 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
