The Grand Isthmus of Arsenial is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Stephen I with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 15.556 billion Isthish have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abiayala. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Isthish economy, worth a remarkable 1,696 trillion ₱ Isthish Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,086 ₱ Isthish Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arsenial's national animal is the Isthmian Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox.

Arsenial is ranked 202,856^th in the world and 582^nd in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
