The Federation of Aarroneous is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, flagrant waste-dumping, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 9 million Aarroneousians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The strong Aarroneousian economy, worth 581 billion flamingoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,615 flamingoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

All the world's a stage for Aarroneousian political theatrics, excessive gerrymandering has earned Aarroneous the nickname 'The Democratic Dictatorship', history classes are mandatory for students, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Aarroneous's national animal is the Gold Coin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aarroneous is ranked 96,204^th in the world and 637^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
