The Canadian Goose Lover of Arlandias is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Armansk Bensk with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.626 billion Arlandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kraza. The average income tax rate is 35.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Arlandian economy, worth 345 trillion Kemins 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 131,702 Kemins, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, expectant parents view twins with equal parts joy and suspicion, and ceremonial zweihänders are used in holy rituals. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Arlandias's national animal is the Deerfox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Religion of Goose.

Arlandias is ranked 98,121^st in the world and 3,280^th in the South Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 5.07 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
