The Federated Commonwealth of Arenumberg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Security Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 46.309 billion Areians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyropolis. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Areian economy, worth an astonishing 10,351 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 223,541 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, and being The Security Council has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arenumberg's national animal is the Apollonian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arenumberg is ranked 5,891^st in the world and 3^rd in The Milky Way Galaxy for Highest Poor Incomes, with 154,835.51 Standard Monetary Units.
