The Armed Republic of Aratones Army is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 2.116 billion Aratones Armyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 15.9%.

The strong Aratones Armyian economy, worth 100 trillion Talers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 47,500 Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation is compulsory, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aratones Army's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aratones Army is ranked 157,270^th in the world and 1,960^th in eta for Most Developed, scoring 55.04 on the Human Development Index.
