Republic of Arnelia (The Traveler)

"We fight for peace and freedom and aim to make our people prospered."

- Official motto of Arnelia

The Republic of Arnelia is a fictional country that exists in The Traveler video game series. It was once a peaceful and prosperous country that now turned into a country that are being devastated by bloody conflicts between the Liberation Army and the Umbrella, both of whom fight against each other for the control over the nation. Although they play a very huge role in every chapters in The Traveler, they are not actually a real country and do not exist in real life in the series. In fact, they are a country existing in a virtual world of a virtual-reality video game.

Economy
A long time earlier prior to the events of The Traveler, the economy of Arnelia was impressive with the population earning a average income of 37,500 Kusos. The currency of Kusos was once valuable, with one Kusos equaling to one dollar. Several years before the bloody conflict started in Arnelia, the economy collapsed, resulting in many population starving. The economy couldn't recover and the government were in huge debt, hence they printed a lot of money to pay it off, which devalued the country's currency at a surprisingly vast rate.

Two factions rose to power and both quickly replaced the former government of Arnelia. However, both factions could not unite the country together due to difference in political ideologies with the LA army embracing liberal democracy whereas the Umbrella are decisively authoritarian, hence, the economy of Arnelia are controlled by both factions. Despite the split, the government of Arnelia are being replaced by the authorities of the Liberation Army because they gained recognition from many countries outside of Arnelia as well as having the control of the capital city, hence the LA army are belonged to the new government of Arnelia while the territories that are under the control of Umbrella are considered as rogue state by many.

Under the new Arnelian government, they somehow got the economy back on track and it managed to grow dramatically despite the country still in the state of civil war between Umbrella and LA. On the other hand, the economy under the control of Umbrella in their territories are also quite good but not really close to the one being controlled by the de facto government of Arnelia as they have only established diplomatic ties with less countries due to being considered as a rogue state by many other countries.
