The United States of Arneria-Irpa is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 605 million Arnerian-Irpans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anniera. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Arneria-Irpan economy, worth 65.1 trillion Neris 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, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 107,668 Neris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, and celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Leader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arneria-Irpa's national animal is the Ghost, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arneria-Irpa is ranked 15,583^rd in the world and 3^rd in THE REGION OF THE LOST BACTERIA for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,204.6 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
