The Republic of Aroni is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Seth Smith with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.036 billion Aronians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guzbek. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,808 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 359,072 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, Seth Smith's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Guzbek generates millions of views, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aroni's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aroni is ranked 182,877^th in the world and 1^st in The Authoritarian Confederacy for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.37 Crimes Per Hour.
