The Republic of Arogenic is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 979 million Arogenicians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Arogenician economy, worth 38.9 trillion headpats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,684 headpats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, the military's newest toy broadcasts Arogenic's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane, and black tea is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arogenic's national animal is the catgirl, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arogenic is ranked 57,375^th in the world and 41^st in Pluralpedia for Nicest Citizens, with 17.01 average smiles per day.
