The Republic of Arlear is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Arlear with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.255 billion Arlearians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Administration and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Industry receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dolphin City. The average income tax rate is 11.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Arlearian economy, worth 548 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,741 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arlear's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Arlear is ranked 177,186^th in the world and 9,372^nd in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,926.88 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
