The Republic of Arliz1 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.285 billion Arliz1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Arliz1ian economy, worth 152 trillion arils a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,041 arils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 340,336 per year while the poor average 33,165, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, criticism of Leader is considered unpatriotic, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arliz1's national animal is the rainbow jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arliz1 is ranked 52,335^th in the world and 3^rd in Card Gardens for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 67.62 Effective Tax Rate.
