The Empire of Arroneia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Thomeas The First with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.691 billion Arroneians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of König´stagg´. The average income tax rate is 71.9%.

The powerhouse Arroneian economy, worth 208 trillion Reismarks 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 122,811 Reismarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Manhood has become rare in the army, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, arthritic citizens seem underrepresented at royal meet-and-greets, and the horniness of the great-horned Red long teeth tiger is considered a national priority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arroneia's national animal is the Red long teeth tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Royal atheistic Cult of personality.

Arroneia is ranked 149,225^th in the world and 44^th in Imperatus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,071.93 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
