The Red Scythan Republic of Aran Prasad is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vicefief Aran III with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.31 billion Aranians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scorpia. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aran Prasadian economy, worth 191 trillion Arrows a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 146,282 Arrows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tax rises are attributed to divine will, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Aran Prasadian politicians, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, and inheritance tax has recently been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aran Prasad's national animal is the German Shepherd, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Antiqueasism.

Aran Prasad is ranked 11,564^th in the world and 98^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 119.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
