The Republic of Arliz286 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.167 billion Arliz286ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.9%.

The all-consuming Arliz286ian economy, worth 124 trillion arils a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,291 arils, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, and renewable energy projects have ground to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arliz286's national animal is the rainbow jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arliz286 is ranked 67,118^th in the world and 1,185^th in ArilCards Inc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,514.39 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
