The Red Scythan Republic of Aran Prasad is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Vicefief Aran III with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.357 billion Aranians 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scorpia. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aran Prasadian economy, worth 200 trillion Arrows a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 147,824 Arrows, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cutting remarks are the limit of Vicefief Aran III's violent tendencies, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, military training in Aran Prasad emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, and the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Scorpia for fear of causing a fuss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Aran Prasad's national animal is the German Shepherd, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Antiqueasism.

Aran Prasad is ranked 31,318^th in the world and 213^th in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
