The Republic of Arliz1482 is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed population of 841 million Arliz1482ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Arliz1482ian economy, worth 73.9 trillion arils a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,900 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, foreigners write "made in Arliz1482" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out, and forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arliz1482's national animal is the rainbow jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arliz1482 is ranked 255,125^th in the world and 1,219^th in ArilCards Inc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
