The Federation of Aarroneous is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 110 million Aarroneousians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The very strong Aarroneousian economy, worth 8.65 trillion flamingoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 78,657 flamingoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, lumberjacks only use certified eco-friendly chainsaws, bicyclists are banned from major roads, and the public transport system has been eliminated. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Aarroneous's national animal is the Gold Coin.

Aarroneous is ranked 244,016^th in the world and 334^th in Europe for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.58 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
