The Holy of Arstothuania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Michael Foxes with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.793 billion Arstothuanians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foksokia. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arstothuanian economy, worth 291 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,813 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, ads no longer feature soldiers becoming green super soldiers by drinking Eckie-Cola, and "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arstothuania's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Arstothuania is ranked 33,369^th in the world and 418^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,507.73 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
