The United States of Arlavan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nimitz with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.433 billion Arlavanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fedelington DA. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Arlavanian economy, worth 153 trillion Avalons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 107,117 Avalons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The study of medicine is popular throughout Arlavan, matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, and crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track. Crime is totally unknown. Arlavan's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fortex.
Arlavan is ranked 24,197th in the world and 940th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
