The Region Keeper of Aril is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.42 billion Arilians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 75.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Arilian economy, worth 465 trillion arils a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,993 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aril's national animal is the rainbow jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aril is ranked 33,369th in the world and 1st in Cataclyst Order for Highest Average Incomes, with 135,993.69 Standard Monetary Units.
