The Republic of Arrentine is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Stilwell with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 12.661 billion Arrentis 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arretium. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Arrentinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,872 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 147,917 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why President Stilwell is a silly poophead, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, extreme political groups are outlawed, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arrentine's national animal is the Cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Arrentine is ranked 6,502^nd in the world and 321^st in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
