The Feng Shui Republic of Arlandias is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.409 billion Arlandians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Üreküvä. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,708 trillion Arlandian Markas 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Gambling. 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 an impressive 164,167 Arlandian Markas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, and no one cares when it's your birthday. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Arlandias's national animal is the Roe Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arlandias is ranked 13,943^rd in the world and 264^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 107,720.78 Standard Monetary Units.
