The Stan Chuu of ARIAPOLIS01 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Olivia Hye with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.055 billion Wiz*bits enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of BBC HEADQUARTERS. The average income tax rate is 56.9%.

The frighteningly efficient ARIAPOLIS01ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,159 trillion Clown*bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 229,459 Clown*bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, the newest shade developed by ARIAPOLIS01's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. ARIAPOLIS01's national animal is the Cheschire, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orbitism summoning circles.
