The Democratic Republic of Ariree is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Malachi Wyatt with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 13.593 billion Arireeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yedo. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Arireean economy, worth a remarkable 2,270 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 167,034 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Malachi Wyatt is wearing this season, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, and Ariree's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ariree's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ariree is ranked 6,936^th in the world and 16^th in Anteria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
