The Free Land of Arostica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.848 billion Arosticans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arostic City. The average income tax rate is 64.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arostican economy, worth 543 trillion Arostican Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 112,058 Arostican Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The only thing that can pin down a "superhero" is red tape, the armed forces have designated 'murder teams' that root out rebels in Brasilistan, captured Brasilistani POWs are staying in 5-star hotels, and people say chess victor Prime Minister can kill you with mind-bullets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arostica's national animal is the Domestic Feline, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arostica is ranked 210,612^th in the world and 3,958^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 274.37 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
