The Empire of Arroneia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Thomeas The First with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.568 billion Arroneians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of König´stagg´. The average income tax rate is 71.7%.

The powerhouse Arroneian economy, worth 192 trillion Reismarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 122,475 Reismarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Thorough preparation of street foods defeats the purpose of really fast food, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, on-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, and battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arroneia's national animal is the Red long teeth tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Royal atheistic Cult of personality.

Arroneia is ranked 28,061^st in the world and 8^th in Imperatus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,742.38 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
