The Republic of Arriopa is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Dravanir with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.215 billion Arriopans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konar. The average income tax rate is 14.0%.

The strong Arriopan economy, worth 71.1 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 58,559 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Arriopa's national animal is the Chapira Bird, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Arriopa is ranked 65,146^th in the world and 6^th in The Universal Federation for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 50,360.79 Standard Monetary Units.
