The People's Confederation of Arsa is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Premier with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 3.387 billion Arsans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkton. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Arsan economy, worth 663 trillion Arks 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 195,792 Arks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, and executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arsa's national animal is the Steppe Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arsa is ranked 243,422^nd in the world and 1,475^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -10.96 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
