The Republic of Arilspot is a large, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 189 million Arilspotians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.9%.

The strong Arilspotian economy, worth 8.99 trillion arils a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 47,574 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, Arilspotian dissenters are begging human rights groups to ignore them, minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arilspot's national animal is the rainbow jay.

Arilspot is ranked 147,223^rd in the world and 220^th in Forest for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 431.78 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
