The Ivalicean Realm in Exile of Aristeme is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.468 billion Aristemeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lesalia. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Aristemean economy, worth a remarkable 6,769 trillion latiums 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Retail. Average income is an amazing 301,295 latiums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime is totally unknown. Aristeme's national animal is the chocobo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Beoulvism.

Aristeme is ranked 1,137^th in the world and 16^th in Europe for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 82 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
