The Republic of Arthur II is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Benjamin Norris with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.202 billion Arthur IIians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ronald Reagan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Arthur IIian economy, worth a remarkable 5,554 trillion Arthurian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 365,350 Arthurian dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,262,063 per year while the poor average 77,351, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arthur II's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Arthur II is ranked 35,975th in the world and 14th in Catholic for Most Stationary, with 1,255.1611064186 days.
