The Federated Commonwealth of Arenumberg is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Security Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 41.179 billion Areians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyropolis. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Areian economy, worth a remarkable 9,205 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 223,541 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The newest shade developed by Arenumberg's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, and weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arenumberg's national animal is the Apollonian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arenumberg is ranked 12,617^th in the world and 2^nd in The Milky Way Galaxy for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,031.94 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
