The Most helpful being of Arakee is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Al Maraziq with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 2.545 billion Arakeys 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 22.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Arakey economy, worth 198 trillion Al Marazoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,998 Al Marazoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, Al Maraziq has just been declared ruler of Arakee in an international press conference, Arakey husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and Muslim has been named as Arakee's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arakee's national animal is the Me Myself, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Muslim.

Arakee is ranked 91,945^th in the world and 4^th in The Gulf Cooperation Council for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,032.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
