The Republic of Arliz431 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, free-roaming dinosaurs, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.256 billion Arliz431ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arliz431ian economy, worth 137 trillion arils 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. 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 109,427 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and edutainment video games are taking Arliz431's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arliz431's national animal is the rainbow jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arliz431 is ranked 321,208^th in the world and 1,832^nd in ArilCards Inc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
