The Commonwealth of Arucaria is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President James Reed with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.659 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 aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prime City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Arucarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,980 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 279,600 credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,623,720 per year while the poor average 22,813, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.

The nation is wading into dangerous waters, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Arucarian satellites can detect it, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. 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 18,767^th in the world and 331^st in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,193.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
