The State of Arnish is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 17.383 billion Arnishians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Arnishian economy, worth 238 trillion betales 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 13,709 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arnish has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arnish's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arnish is ranked 46,170th in the world and 6th in Nevada for Most Stationary, with 943.4083892738 days.
