The Republic of ARF Trooper 12 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The devout population of 1.513 billion ARF Trooper 12ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.8%.

The ARF Trooper 12ian economy, worth 70.2 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,387 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, and the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ARF Trooper 12's national animal is the Droid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ARF Trooper 12 is ranked 118,009^th in the world and 3^rd in Viridian Zephyr for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,103.15 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
