The Ivalicean Realm in Exile of Aristeme is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.383 billion Aristemeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lesalia. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Aristemean economy, worth a remarkable 8,216 trillion latiums a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Retail. Average income is an amazing 311,423 latiums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Sworn provincial enemies must be held back in Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca's cabinet meetings, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, and tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs. 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 6,426^th in the world and 98^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 110.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
