Article I: The New South Hell Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere

The New South Hell Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere, often shortened to the Hellosphere - but more accurately named the ARBosphere - was an enigmatic aggregate of nations associated with New south hell and all controlled by the mysterious entity known as ARB. Details about this entity are scarce, although we know that their primary seat of power was The Voice of ARB.

The ARBosphere contained nearly 400 nations, each with their own unique mission and citizens, spread across many regions including The Bad Place, Ulthar, Ideology Testing Inc. and more. While The Bad Place was the residence of some of the ARBosphere's most illustrious personalities, it was the complex geopolitics between the dogmatic nations of Ideology Testing Inc that gave rise to one of the ARBosphere's best works - an essay entitled with the region's name, describing, from a top-down level, the seventeen nations of the region and their interactions.

This essay was expanded and revised multiple times, and includes details on the informal agreements of the freedom-loving North; the Western bloc of progressive, modern havens; the devout, heavily-armed alliance of the East; and the terrible conflicts within and without the psychotic nations of the South; alongside the major issues the region faced, such as mass refugee exodus from the South, religious conflicts with the Psychotics, and disconcertingly widespread construction of WMDs.

Finally, any description of the ARBosphere would be incomplete without describing some of the more exotic nations it contained. Hypermom, a Mother Knows Best State in all but official classification, ruled by a well-meaning-if-overbearing parent with benevolent intentions; Lazy faerie, a fuzzy-wuzzy state ruled by an ignominious godmother, somehow one of the nicest nations for a person to inhabit in The Bad Place; The outer satellites, a nation desiring nothing more than to advance humanity by terraforming barren moons in its home solar system; Badness gracious, ambassador from The Bad Place to Ulthar, home to the pioneers of Spectral Theory (as we shall discuss soon); and of course, New south hell, which, despite its facade of utter inhospitableness, somehow managed to be even worse than it appeared - but remains commendable for its punishment of only the worst of criminals.

Article II: Kindly Professor Hell and the Ideobots

Another excellent series of writings produced by the ARBosphere are the insights into the nature of our universe produced by scholars from Kindly professor hell and Badness Gracious, known formally as Spectral Theory. By quantifying a nation's ideological "themes" (e.g. "culture" or "generosity") and tracking them over time, these scholars were able to create a series of robots known as Ideobots, who were able to manage satellite states according to a predefined set of ideologically themed values.

Spectral Theory was one of the most in-depth projects undertaken by the nations of the ARBosphere, ongoing for no less than four years. In the course of the experiment, the ideological themes were refined many times, eventually ending up with a full thirty-six themes ranked at twenty different levels, and no less than fifty ideobots using the themes to manage vassal states. To perform the experiment, Professor Hell - the leader of the Spectral Theory research department, for whom Kindly Professor Hell was named - and his team had to painstakingly classify all three-hundred-odd common dilemmata of the time - including over a thousand individual choices.

Article III: Other Achievements of the ARBosphere

The ARBosphere encompassed a fantastic set of nations whose achievements are too complex and numerous to describe in just one document, and the many writings they produced are well worth the read. Nevertheless, here are some that bear specific notice:

• successfully negotiating peace after the Skeleton Army's numerous invasions of Ulthar and The Bad Place,
• hosting an excellent party, attended by the entire ARBosphere as well as several Ultharian regulars and catered to by - surprisingly - the Skeleton Army, as a celebration of New South Hell's third birthday,
• using the research conducted by Kindly Professor Hell to publish analyses on many other topics, including enhancing nation descriptions, reporting on newly-released national statistics, and explaining the frequency of dilemma reoccurrence.

Article IV: A Statement of Commendation

As recognition of a truly unique group of nations and all their varied achievements, the Security Council hereby Commends The Voice of ARB.
