The Republic of Arlenton is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The President of Arlenton with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 29.477 billion Arlentans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Social Policy and Environment not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charleston. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Arlenish economy, worth a remarkable 6,792 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 230,429 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,879,969 per year while the poor average 6,114, a ratio of 307 to 1.

Orientation videos remind rookie female politicians that slaps on the bottom are perfectly acceptable forms of communication, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and increasing numbers of children in Arlenton have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Arlenton's national animal is the Arlenton Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Arlenton is ranked 193,098^th in the world and 4,836^th in Osiris for Most Influential, scoring 150 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
