The Kingdom of Aresetia is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by King Antoine II of Tyre with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, otherworldly petting zoo, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 940 million Aresetians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hiosianis. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Aresetian economy, worth 84.5 trillion Ptinás a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,923 Ptinás, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, and jaywalking is punishable by public flogging. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aresetia's national animal is the Aánis, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aresetia is ranked 161,708^th in the world and 801^st in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 250.79 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
