The Illusory Spectre of Arrivederci is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Gorlomi with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.976 billion Arrivedercians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Margheriti. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Arrivedercian economy, worth a remarkable 5,176 trillion Gold Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 370,413 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Religion makes people horny, Humongo-Mart's Beef 'n Vampiric Narwhal Lasagne is a hit, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and the official Arrivedercian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime is totally unknown. Arrivederci's national animal is the Vampiric Narwhal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Arrivederci is ranked 39,763^rd in the world and 1,061^st in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 1.85 Weapons Per Person.
