The Holy Militant Tsardom of Aroltia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tsar Sergei I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, parental licensing program, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.363 billion Aroltians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snezhnyygrad. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Aroltian economy, worth a remarkable 3,485 trillion Arols a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 260,807 Arols, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,026,353 per year while the poor average 44,981, a ratio of 22.8 to 1.

Stranded astronauts hitch rides on foreign spacecraft to get home, the holidays begin with the traditional exchanging of aspirin, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, and not showing enough enthusiasm for mutual assured destruction is a court-martial offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aroltia's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Aroltian Orthodox Church.

Aroltia is ranked 12,520th in the world and 4th in Montealba for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,687.15 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
