The Socialist Federal Republic of Arsula is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Agustin with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.066 billion Arsulans 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 enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Arsulan economy, worth 175 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 84,950 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arsula's national animal is the Puma, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arsula is ranked 327,622^nd in the world and 177^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
