The Republic of Aresetia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Chief Minister Lynx Adrasteia with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.223 billion Eresians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anđouw. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eresian economy, worth 262 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 117,896 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and protests are illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aresetia's national animal is the Dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eresian Christianity.

Aresetia is ranked 9,023^rd in the world and 165^th in The East Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 70.81 flags saluted per person per day.
