The Region Keeper of Aril is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, national health service, and enslaved workforce. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.287 billion Arilians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Arilian economy, worth 442 trillion arils 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. 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 134,607 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

It turns out that trees grow on arils, citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aril's national animal is the rainbow jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aril is ranked 263,405^th in the world and 6^th in Cataclyst Order for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
