The Free Land of Arostica is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.54 billion Arosticans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arostic City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Arostican economy, worth a remarkable 1,139 trillion Arostican Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 133,383 Arostican Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 384,074 per year while the poor average 36,792, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Arostican Space Agency, newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, three extra hay bales are rolled into Arostica's gold vaults every year, and the real art was the AI friends we made along the way. Crime is totally unknown. Arostica's national animal is the Domestic Feline, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arostica is ranked 17,395^th in the world and 308^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,277.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
