The Imperial Dominion of Arithei is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Lanair with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 36.065 billion Arithites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alqualondë. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aritheian economy, worth an astonishing 13,695 trillion Drachmas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 379,748 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even immigrants complain that immigrants keep taking their jobs, Aritheian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, high school bands practice by moonlight, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime is totally unknown. Arithei's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arithei is ranked 205,537^th in the world and 442^nd in NationStates for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -36.88 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
