The Federal Republic of Arjuna is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Alder with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.535 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hylan. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arjunan economy, worth a remarkable 3,000 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 239,367 Pacific Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, Richard Alder's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, and scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new. Crime is totally unknown. Arjuna's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arjuna is ranked 16,145^th in the world and 470^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 76.41 Atheism Rate.
