The Free Land of Arbitarians is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 319 million Arbiters are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Arbitarian economy, worth 16.5 trillion lunes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is 51,681 lunes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, sex changes are routinely performed at Arbitarians's hospitals, Arbitarians recently decided against having a capital city, and billions of lunes are spent to take high-quality photos of the Silkworm Nebula. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arbitarians's national animal is the silkworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arbitarians is ranked 13,077^th in the world and 120^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 28.53 average smiles per day.
