The Parliamentary Republic of Artlantic Islands is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.244 billion nordics 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artlantic City. The average income tax rate is 21.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Artlantic Islandsian economy, worth 887 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 142,147 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers, and Prime Minister's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Artlantic City generates millions of views. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artlantic Islands's national animal is the siberian husky, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Artlantic Islands is ranked 64,345^th in the world and 657^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 117.84 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
