The United Republics of New Ariesian is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Adrian Womble and Sophia Rodriguez with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.287 billion Ariesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apollo. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Ariesianian economy, worth 164 trillion Korones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,595 Korones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, and Adrian Womble and Sophia Rodriguez's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts. Crime is totally unknown. New Ariesian's national animal is the Phonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bahai'ism.

New Ariesian is ranked 118,433^rd in the world and 78^th in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 826.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
