The Based romerist empire of Araucarlia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by araucarlian leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.341 billion Araucarlians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of curitiba. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Araucarlian economy, worth 206 trillion pilas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 88,008 pilas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nationals are widely distrusted, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, people who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers, and orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Araucarlia's national animal is the cow and its national religion is roman catholicism.

Araucarlia is ranked 50,133^rd in the world and 75^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,906.42 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
