The Holy of Arstothuania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Michael Foxes with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, aversion to nipples, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.742 billion Arstothuanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foksokia. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arstothuanian economy, worth 283 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,516 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, mechanics are often exhausted by their work, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, and murderers are immune to arrest while attending their victims' funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arstothuania's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Arstothuania is ranked 7,684^th in the world and 241^st in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 36.59 average smiles per day.
