The Federal Combine of Aresin is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Administrator Kayode Mostafa with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 15.081 billion Aresinians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crisis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Aresinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,847 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 255,149 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,622,578 per year while the poor average 16,586, a ratio of 97.8 to 1.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, and cheap and tasteless vegetables flood the markets. Crime is totally unknown. Aresin's national animal is the mourning dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aresin is ranked 5,091^st in the world and 4^th in The Local Cluster for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 558.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
