The Red Empire of British Arzelentaxmacone is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.027 billion British Arzelentaxmaconeans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arz. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse British Arzelentaxmaconean economy, worth 249 trillion Shillings 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 123,005 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of British Arzelentaxmacone at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British Arzelentaxmacone's national animal is the Gigantapithicus and the Bat and its national religion is Atheism.

British Arzelentaxmacone is ranked 267,871^st in the world and 5^th in The Prosperous Lands of Ingsoc for Most Primitive, scoring -225.79 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
