The Windswept Dreams of Arlizplot is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by lochy with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.511 billion Arlizplotians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoizu. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arlizplotian economy, worth a remarkable 2,103 trillion Arils a year, is quite 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 221,122 Arils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sweet-toothed Arlizplotians have been left penniless by the VAT on candy, corrupt paupers spend taxpayer Arils on liquor and tobacco, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and the most recent election was a close race between lochy and lochy. 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 711^th in the world and 2^nd in Starlight for Nicest Citizens, with 101.48 average smiles per day.
