The Republic of FOB Arrow is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 145 million FOB Arrowians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Education is also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The strong FOB Arrowian economy, worth 7.90 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 54,451 guilders, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 335,431 per year while the poor average 3,846, a ratio of 87.2 to 1.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. FOB Arrow's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

FOB Arrow is ranked 6,647^th in the world and 6^th in Dramerican Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,269.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
