The Holy of Arstothuania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Michael Foxes with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.653 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foksokia. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arstothuanian economy, worth 263 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 159,327 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, Arstothuania's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, and a sophisticated government-sponsored breeding program creates normal people. 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 7,227th in the world and 181st in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 92.56 on the Human Development Index.
