The Republic of Arlandias is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Vladimir Skhok with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The democratic, devout population of 5.262 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 Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Кraжä. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arlandian economy, worth 859 trillion Kemins 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 163,290 Kemins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

They say that Arlandians made a dessert and called it peace, three-year-olds have tantrums because they don't want to be drainage technicians when they grow up, arms manufacturers and mild-mannered journalists have been outed as superheroes, and the Roe Deer of Arlandias are surprisingly well-adjusted. Crime is relatively low. Arlandias's national animal is the Roe Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arlandias is ranked 200,418^th in the world and 4,404^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
