The Empire of Arteslansk is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The cynical population of 87 million Arteslanskians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Arteslanskian economy, worth 2.16 trillion Sapphire dezhen's a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 24,786 Sapphire dezhen's, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Arteslansk City generates millions of views, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arteslansk's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Arteslansk is ranked 19,268th in the world and 1,133rd in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 2,848 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
