The Commonwealth of Arbion is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 329 million Arbionites 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.0%.

The strong Arbionite economy, worth 16.0 trillion stirlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 48,690 stirlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, voting is voluntary, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arbion's national animal is the dehumanized Beringara, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Arbion is ranked 52,393^rd in the world and 3^rd in Paladin Astralblitz for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,601.18 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
