The Cozy Hollow of Arlizplot is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by lochy with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.561 billion Arlizplotians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoizu. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Arlizplotian economy, worth a remarkable 2,123 trillion Goks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 222,066 Goks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, and Lochy is going to the moon. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arlizplot's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hoizunese.

Arlizplot is ranked 325,402nd in the world and 550th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
