The District of Aarley is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by privy council chairman with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 32.16 billion Aarleyians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Aarleyian economy, worth 265 trillion Juno aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,268 Juno aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aarley is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Aarley has designated District City as its capital city, and Privy council chairman has just been declared ruler of Aarley in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aarley's national animal is the quick pink fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aarley is ranked 88,632nd in the world and 1st in Kingdom of the Netherlands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
