The Federalized Oceanic States of Areulia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Finni Mertz with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.593 billion Areulians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arutopia. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Areulian economy, worth 951 trillion Areulian Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 207,091 Areulian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters.

Areulia is ranked 10,226^th in the world and 4^th in Empire of Great Britain for Highest Average Incomes, with 207,091.19 Standard Monetary Units.
