The Oppressed Peoples of Aradia Remade is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 12 million New Aradians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Aradia Remadean economy, worth 202 billion creds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 16,911 creds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aradia Remade's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aradia Remade is ranked 63,274^th in the world and 692^nd in the West Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 64.15 Effective Tax Rate.
