The Federation of Aarroneous is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 212 million Aarroneousians, 24 million of whom are zombies, have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The thriving Aarroneousian economy, worth 18.9 trillion flamingoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 89,149 flamingoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has been criticized for giving away Aarroneous's territory to anyone who claims it, dream holidays often go awry, Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, and new legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Leader". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Aarroneous's national animal is the Gold Coin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Aarroneous is ranked 88,280^th in the world and 273^rd in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,039.35 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
