The Republic of Arthur II is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Benjamin Norris with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.463 billion Arthur IIians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ronald Reagan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Arthur IIian economy, worth a remarkable 5,711 trillion Arthurian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 369,379 Arthurian dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, companies are turning to trained Dogs for their most menial jobs, many marriages end in murder, and begun the Clone Wars have. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arthur II's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Arthur II is ranked 47,899th in the world and 26th in Catholic for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,189.86 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
