The Community of Aruma is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its fear of technology, lack of airports, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 440 million Arumans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jovem. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Aruman economy, worth 15.7 trillion folhas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 35,585 folhas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, students can name the chiefs of proto-Bigtopian tribes before they can count to ten, one can wake up in Aruma and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Aruma's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Aruma is ranked 140,095^th in the world and 29^th in Rosaria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 18.31 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
