The Free Land of Arostica is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.612 billion Arosticans 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arostic City. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arostican economy, worth 418 trillion Arostican Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 115,804 Arostican Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, and citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arostica's national animal is the Domestic Feline, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arostica is ranked 57,037^th in the world and 1,622^nd in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,451.38 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
