The Demovative Republic of Arlandova is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Simon Arlandova with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.998 billion Arlandovans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurelia. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Arlandovan economy, worth 209 trillion Nigaras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 105,032 Nigaras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nations that kill an Arlandovan can expect a strongly worded letter, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and the best spies are positively radiant after completing a big mission. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arlandova's national animal is the Arlandovan Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Christian.

Arlandova is ranked 8,698^th in the world and 16^th in The Kodiak Republic for Nicest Citizens, with 35.87 average smiles per day.
