The Blindly Idealistic Society of Larnainia Arius is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 7.668 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, a government program is underway to revitalize Larnainia Arius's beaches, and Imaginary pet is one of the most popular forenames in Larnainia Arius. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Larnainia Arius's national animal is the imaginary pet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the novel.

Larnainia Arius is ranked 1,980th in Balder and 92,175th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 3 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
