The Federation of Arimi is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 123 million Arimians 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 minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Public Transport, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Arimian economy, worth 8.29 trillion Arimi Yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 67,371 Arimi Yen, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 389,472 per year while the poor average 5,555, a ratio of 70.1 to 1.

Many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Leader's office, the nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, and Swallows that venture near secret military bases are shipped off to prison for espionage. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Arimi's national animal is the Swallow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Arimi is ranked 45,381st in the world and 52nd in Karma for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 75.6 Workforce Participation Rate.
