The Republic of Ar22 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 537 million Ar22ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ar22ian economy, worth 24.9 trillion gegegegwegs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 46,400 gegegegwegs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and Ar22 has designated Ar22 City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ar22's national animal is the wegwegewgeg, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ar22 is ranked 160,486^th in the world and 71^st in ArilCards Inc for Highest Food Quality, scoring 14.68 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
