The Autocratic State of The Arusian Empire is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Jäger with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.559 billion Arusians 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, 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 Arusia City. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arusian economy, worth 276 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,073 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

When electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, and no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Arusian Empire's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Arusian Empire is ranked 27,962^nd in the world and 86^th in the Outback for Most Developed, scoring 83.74 on the Human Development Index.
