The Commonwealth of Arucaria is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by President James Reed with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.79 billion Arucarians 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 relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Welfare, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prime City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Arucarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,997 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 277,814 credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,677,415 per year while the poor average 20,640, a ratio of 81.3 to 1.

Fresh food is a thing of the past due to onerous testing standards, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, doomscrolling is all the rage amongst the nation's teenagers, and double-parking is on the rise as automobile numbers increase. Crime is totally unknown. Arucaria's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Arucaria is ranked 29,033^rd in the world and 392^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,365.06 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
