The Republic of Arbuckle Republic is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29 million Arbuckle Republicians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 6.9%.

The very strong Arbuckle Republician economy, worth 2.06 trillion cents 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 Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 70,922 cents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The might of the entire Arbuckle Republician Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Arbuckle Republic's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arbuckle Republic is ranked 58,105^th in the world and 59^th in Midnight Vale for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,842.07 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
