The Golden Federation of Arjuna is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Alder with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.308 billion Arjunans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hylan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Arjunan economy, worth a remarkable 2,663 trillion Pacific Rupees a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 235,498 Pacific Rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 789,056 per year while the poor average 52,202, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is totally unknown. Arjuna's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arjuna is ranked 20,359th in the world and 711th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,979.24 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
