The Republic of Arateszama is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.794 billion Arateszamen 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hexypoli. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Arateszaman economy, worth 74.0 trillion pesos 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 led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 10,895 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arateszama has designated Hexypoli as its capital city, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arateszama's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arateszama is ranked 72,547^th in the world and 13^th in Noneuropean Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
