The Republic of ARC Trooper 19 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 1.383 billion ARC Trooper 19ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient ARC Trooper 19ian economy, worth 54.7 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,552 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A PhD just ain't what it used to be, the new ARC Trooper 19ian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, sex changes are routinely performed at ARC Trooper 19's hospitals, and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ARC Trooper 19's national animal is the Droid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ARC Trooper 19 is ranked 239,497^th in the world and 3,630^th in eta for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,231.75 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
