The Holy Roman Empire of The Arenian Republic is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Alexander Arenas IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.774 billion Arenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdras. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Arenian Republician economy, worth 744 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 197,193 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,740,398 per year while the poor average 3,204, a ratio of 543 to 1.

Foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Arenian Republician Moonshine", the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and the government invades its allies more than its enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. The Arenian Republic's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Arenian Republic is ranked 331,340^th in the world and 223^rd in Christians for Most Pacifist, with 4.07 cheeks turned per day.
