The Technate of The Arsens is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Arjir Saris with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.833 billion Arsens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kerberos. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arsen economy, worth a remarkable 1,496 trillion Torens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 309,675 Torens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, in pet stores nationwide Giant Arsen Octopuses are growing in popularity, and the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Arsens's national animal is the Giant Arsen Octopus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

The Arsens is ranked 2,815^th in the world and 2^nd in Astellaria for Highest Average Incomes, with 309,675.55 Standard Monetary Units.
