The Democratic Republic of Arriva Wales 4 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 9.015 billion Arriva Wales 4ians 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 Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Arriva Wales 4ian economy, worth 407 trillion Shiny Green Things a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,148 Shiny Green Things, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The opposition leader's credibility has been undermined by constant attention drawn to a dodgy toupee, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, and machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arriva Wales 4's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arriva Wales 4 is ranked 52,554^th in the world and 2^nd in Khanubia for Largest Populations, with 9.02 billion capita.
