The Haunted Phoenix of Arlizplot is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Witch Lochy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.64 billion Arlizplotians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoizu. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Arlizplotian economy, worth a remarkable 2,150 trillion Goks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 223,069 Goks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, refugees from other nations are flocking to Arlizplot's border, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Arlizplotian, and Witch Lochy's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arlizplot's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hoizunese.

Arlizplot is ranked 2,767^th in the world and 12^th in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 198,653.66 Standard Monetary Units.
