The Golden Federation of Arjuna is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Richard Alder with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory gun ownership, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.238 billion Arjunans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hylan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Arjunan economy, worth a remarkable 2,628 trillion Pacific Rupees a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 233,866 Pacific Rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 798,247 per year while the poor average 50,418, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.

Political commentators say that Richard Alder's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", and adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives. Crime is totally unknown. Arjuna's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arjuna is ranked 66,612^th in the world and 1,955^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
