The Socialist Federal Republic of Artoriticitys is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Müller Thermolev with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.084 billion Artoreans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fürthreich. The average income tax rate is 42.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Artoreanz economy, worth 147 trillion molens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 136,199 molens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, billions of molens are being blown on orbital weapons development, and elected officials who disagree with Müller Thermolev have a lot of accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Artoriticitys's national animal is the Artorian tigers, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State secular.

Artoriticitys is ranked 45,302^nd in the world and 1,835^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,726.48 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
