The Rogue Nation of The Arrivalists is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.756 billion Arrivalists love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Arrivalistsian economy, worth 465 trillion Dyots 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 123,936 Dyots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Arrivalists's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Arrivalists is ranked 246,406th in the world and 8,063rd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 19.9172789196 days.
