The Republic of Arlidzplot is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.109 billion Arlidzplotians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arlidzplotian economy, worth 118 trillion arils a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,856 arils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arlidzplot's national animal is the rainbow jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arlidzplot is ranked 295,598th in the world and 1,811th in ArilCards Inc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
