The Socialist Federation of Arsula is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Agustin with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, conspicuous electricity pylons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.751 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Arsulan economy, worth 123 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, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 70,657 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age'. 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 7,338^th in the world and 47^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,997.87 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
