The Federal Republic of Arjut is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Max Lawson with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.323 billion Arjutians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Topinica. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.1%.

The all-consuming Arjutian economy, worth a remarkable 1,256 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 134,804 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Charity distribution sites are regularly raided by the police, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arjut's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Riolu.

Arjut is ranked 30,172^nd in the world and 3^rd in Aura for Smartest Citizens, with 56.28 quips per hour.
