The Free Land of Arostica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.535 billion Arosticans 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arostic City. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arostican economy, worth 405 trillion Arostican Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 114,652 Arostican Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, if foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Arostica, and science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arostica's national animal is the Domestic Feline, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arostica is ranked 26,136^th in the world and 1,018^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 84 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
