The Kingdom of Areotis is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 100 million Areotisians 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 Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 11.2%.

The Areotisian economy, worth 4.62 trillion Aeros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 46,173 Aeros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, private law firms are unheard of, and parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Areotis's national animal is the Iceland Fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Areotis is ranked 87,494^th in the world and 45^th in Eladria for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,105.38 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
