The Glorious Nation of Union of Arandina is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jvir Maestr with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 1.634 billion Arandians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of L' Ántana. The average income tax rate is 44.9%.

The powerhouse Arandian economy, worth 142 trillion Arandian hands a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 87,391 Arandian hands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of Arandina's national animal is the Squirrel Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Union of Arandina is ranked 72,624^th in the world and 3,445^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 48,152.83 Standard Monetary Units.
