The Republic of Arliz229 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The devout population of 1.179 billion Arliz229ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arliz229ian economy, worth 150 trillion arils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 127,828 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arliz229's national animal is the rainbow jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arliz229 is ranked 32,514^th in the world and 275^th in ArilCards Inc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,552.17 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
