The Socialist Republic of Arulo is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chairwoman Nat with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate population of 8.315 billion Arulans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bordamm. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arulan economy, worth 988 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 118,835 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, the real art was the AI friends we made along the way, scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, and the national economy makes a whole lot of nothing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arulo's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arulo is ranked 18,835^th in the world and 258^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Poor Incomes, with 94,078.07 Standard Monetary Units.
