The Enchanted Forest of Araine is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Woodland Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.477 billion Arainians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foxglove Hill. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Arainian economy, worth a remarkable 1,075 trillion acorns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,928 acorns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, they say that Arainians made a dessert and called it peace, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Araine's national animal is the northern flicker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Araine is ranked 3,394th in the world and 29th in Refugia for Safest, scoring 137.52 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
