The Unspeakably Zen Republic of Aroa is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Flying Ninja with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.387 billion Aroans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mountain Dojo. The average income tax rate is 32.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aroan economy, worth a remarkable 1,309 trillion anoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,712 anoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most ambassadors from Aroa retire only a few years after being appointed, cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby The Flying Ninja Pics" has made The Flying Ninja's mom a celebrity, and pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids. Crime is totally unknown. Aroa's national animal is the Afroed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aroa is ranked 30,540^th in the world and 1,580^th in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 59.64 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
