The Socialist Federal Republic of Arsula is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Agustin with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.077 billion Arsulans 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, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Arsulan economy, worth 176 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 85,175 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The armed forces pride themselves on being conventional and predictable, Arsula's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the Arsulan Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, and the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arsula's national animal is the Puma, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arsula is ranked 301,362^nd in the world and 141^st in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
