Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Coastal Republic of Aruia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chief of Senate Alisa Edal with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.192 billion Aruians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ar'ksen City. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aruian economy, worth 838 trillion Ranoes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is 82,296 Ranoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nose plugs are the latest Aruian fashion accessory, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, the only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed, and all recreational drugs are legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aruia's national animal is the hoopoe bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aruia is ranked 205,164^th in the world and 137^th in The Western Isles for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.54 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
