The Republic of Arlear is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Arlear with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, digital currency, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.824 billion Arlearians 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 tiny government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Industry are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dolphin City. The average income tax rate is 9.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Arlearian economy, worth 481 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 44,465 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The decommissioned tank divisions of other nations are being bought up en masse by Arlear, the true length of the coastline of Arlear may never be measured, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arlear's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Arlear is ranked 8,404^th in the world and 306^th in Lazarus for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 117.27 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
