The Capitalist Technocracy of Arsen republic of Stratenia is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Alexander Veleen with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 919 million Stratenians 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 government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcanova. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Stratenian economy, worth 109 trillion EuroMarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 118,869 EuroMarks, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, surveillance cameras are banned, and a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arsen republic of Stratenia's national animal is the White Arsen Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Arsen republic of Stratenia is ranked 128,732^nd in the world and 62^nd in Aspen for Safest, scoring 73.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
