The Spring into Summer of Arliz is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 3.505 billion Arlizians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arlizian economy, worth 457 trillion arils a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,556 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Cars are banned, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arliz's national animal is the rainbow jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arliz is ranked 43,077^th in the world and 44^th in The Wellspring for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,164.23 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
