The Sovereign Kingdom of Aritzoska is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by David Plattix with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, digital currency, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate population of 5.887 billion Zanosi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lonolia. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zanos economy, worth 805 trillion Ętherons a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,830 Ętherons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, rumor has it that David Plattix has won three lotteries in a row, David Plattix has promised 'power to the puppies', and spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aritzoska's national animal is the Puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Aritzoska is ranked 4,732nd in the world and 62nd in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,807.9 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
