The Haunted Phoenix of Arlizplot is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Witch Lochy with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.443 billion Arlizplotians, 5.18 billion of whom are zombies, 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoizu. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Arlizplotian economy, worth a remarkable 2,171 trillion Goks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,130 Goks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Music award shows include surprise polygraph segments, people transfer their assets to bank accounts in Manamana before getting divorced, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, and paleogeneticists have taken a Jurassic bite out of the budget. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arlizplot's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hoizunese.

Arlizplot is ranked 5,435^th in the world and 35^th in Starlight for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,413.75 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
