The Spooky Republic of Arlandias is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Vladimir Skhok with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 6.24 billion Arlandians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Кraжä. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arlandian economy, worth 995 trillion Kemins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 159,506 Kemins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes. Crime is totally unknown. Arlandias's national animal is the Roe Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arlandias is ranked 105,062^nd in the world and 2,001^st in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,428.85 Standard Monetary Units.
