The Federation of Artiloa is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 744 million Artiloans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Artiloan economy, worth 88.4 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 118,790 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, Artiloa has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and the future is monochrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Artiloa's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Artiloa is ranked 289,731^st in the world and 154^th in Refugia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -6.32 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
