Excerpt from NationStates page:
The Republic of Aralonia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 215 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing industries.
Birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, sand crabs are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, and a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Aralonia remains pure. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aralonia's national animal is the sand crab, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the aralonian ruble.
Previous Developments
Soon after appearing on the international board, Aralonia declared war with the country Red Tide2 for their completely inhumane use of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons on civillian population centers.
Satellite imagery shows the recent construction of a large covered naval construction yard, approximately 500 by 100 meters wide. Incredible amounts of supplies have been going into this area, with only barren trucks leaving the premises. What the Aralonians hope to accomplish is currently highly classified, though with the surge in immigrants and in the national economy, the construction of some sort of large object is undisputed.
For the next ten years, the entire Religion and Spirituality budget and portions of the Military budget have been completely shunted into the purchase of a new aircraft carrier, battlecruiser, and two fleet tenders. The remainder of the Military budget seems to be falling into a black hole.
Current Developments
The conflict in Red Tide has been resolved, due to the acts taken against that nation by Aequatio, The Silver Sky, Wilhelmsborough, Anagonia, and Aralonia herself. Aequatio and The Silver Sky still maintain a military presence in this nation.
The black hole has been seen to be the development of Aralonia's own class of battleships, though the remainder of this hole seems to be still unknown. Speculation runs high while discussing where exactly this money went.
Aralonia's naval air arm consists mainly of remotely operated drones, to lessen the amount of losses that may be taken from massive amounts of anti-air weaponry that other nations seem to possess. This lesson was learned after Wilhelmsborough took incredible losses in the opening salvoes of the Red Tide conflict.
Actions against the populace in the nation of Mer des Ennuis too have not gone unnoticed by the Aralonian government, with the Aralonian Third Expeditionary Fleet led by Vice Admiral Daniel Hawking being dispatched to that combat theater.
