The Imperial Dominion of Arithei is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Lanair with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 37.693 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, with Environment and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alqualondë. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aritheian economy, worth an astonishing 14,676 trillion Drachmas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 389,376 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime is totally unknown. Arithei's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arithei is ranked 284^th in the world and 3^rd in NationStates for Rudest Citizens, with 551.48 Insults Per Minute.
