The Republic of ERN Arnhelm is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.148 billion ERN Arnhelmians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The enormous, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.3%.

The strong ERN Arnhelmian economy, worth 915 trillion goldfarbs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 41,319 goldfarbs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 220,435 per year while the poor average 4,070, a ratio of 54.2 to 1.

Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. ERN Arnhelm's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

ERN Arnhelm is ranked 244,188^th in the world and 1,145^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
