The Holy Militant Tsardom of Aroltia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Tsar Sergei I with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, avant-garde cinema, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.473 billion Aroltians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snezhnyygrad. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Aroltian economy, worth a remarkable 3,538 trillion Arols a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 262,669 Arols, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 967,299 per year while the poor average 50,384, a ratio of 19.2 to 1.

There is no rest for the widowed, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aroltia's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Aroltian Orthodox Church.

Aroltia is ranked 11,236^th in the world and 2^nd in Montealba for Most Developed, scoring 90.09 on the Human Development Index.
