The Republic of Arty 6 is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 256 million Arty 6ians 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 Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.1%.

The strong Arty 6ian economy, worth 14.4 trillion Colors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 56,147 Colors, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 169,199 per year while the poor average 14,525, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Children seem to be getting better at lying these days, the internet has been placed under government control, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, and nobody knows why the caged Butterfly sings. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arty 6's national animal is the Butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Arty 6 is ranked 289,783^rd in the world and 10^th in Card Mine of Arty for Largest Populations, with 256 million capita.
