The Artherianisches Reich of The United Artherian Federation is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiser Otto with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.992 billion Artherians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Artherian economy, worth a remarkable 6,398 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 426,777 Reichsmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, and the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Artherian Federation's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

The United Artherian Federation is ranked 2,358^th in the world and 73^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 323.11 kickbacks per hour.
