The People Singing of Arstotskiano is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Arsto with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.302 billion Arstotskianians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steyntruthmen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Arstotskianian economy, worth a remarkable 3,581 trillion Arstotskoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 316,898 Arstotskoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,535,943 per year while the poor average 9,249, a ratio of 274 to 1.

The only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, when it comes to real men it takes one to know one, vehicular manslaughter is apparently a victimless crime, and waste is frequently shipped to other countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Arstotskiano's national animal is the Arstotskiano, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Arstoism.

Arstotskiano is ranked 7,613^th in the world and 3^rd in Cape of Good Hope for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 7,001.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
