The Republic of Arielulus cuprosus is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 124 million Arielulus cuprosusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.3%.

The very strong Arielulus cuprosusian economy, worth 6.27 trillion Bats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 50,584 Bats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,907 per year while the poor average 9,028, a ratio of 21.6 to 1.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, a third of Arielulus cuprosusians are e-certified CEOs, and train stations can be 'armful places. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Arielulus cuprosus's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arielulus cuprosus is ranked 298,372^nd in the world and 638^th in bat for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,153 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
