The Republic of Arador is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edwin Baldwin with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.285 billion Aradorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arador City. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Aradorian economy, worth 43.2 trillion Aradorran Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,591 Aradorran Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, the Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arador's national animal is the Beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arador is ranked 39,711^th in the world and 170^th in Starlight for Most Secular, with 27.32 Atheism Rate.
