The Commonwealth of Aradas is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lyviunn with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.484 billion Aradasians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baixeiro. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Aradasian economy, worth 241 trillion Dinheiroes a year, is quite 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 69,449 Dinheiroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, no one knows how to tie a reef knot, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aradas's national animal is the Aradasian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aradas is ranked 72,176^th in the world and 80^th in The Western Isles for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
