The Republic of Arbuckle Republic is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 32 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, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 6.9%.

The very strong Arbuckle Republician economy, worth 2.27 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 84,236^th in the world and 67^th in Midnight Vale for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 95.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
