The Federal Republic of Arzastan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime minister with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.866 billion Arzenese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arzagaan. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Arzenese economy, worth 167 trillion Chenderqaazzes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,718 Chenderqaazzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, and official government guidance encourages binge behaviors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arzastan's national animal is the Stronk Blanford's fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mithraism.

Arzastan is ranked 210,901^st in the world and 363^rd in Far East Oriental Federation for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,235.3 Standard Monetary Units.
