The Constitutional Monarchy of Arazatana is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Matthew with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.157 billion Arazatans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of C4 Territory. The average income tax rate is 70.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arazatan economy, worth 257 trillion Azarns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 119,398 Azarns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban, buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, and aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arazatana's national animal is the Canary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism and Atheism.

Arazatana is ranked 45,054^th in the world and 1^st in Desintegratia for Highest Average Incomes, with 119,398.31 Standard Monetary Units.
