The Holy Kingdom of Arathion is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Davnan Godwin I with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, zero percent divorce rate, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.093 billion Arathii are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alvirad. The average income tax rate is 44.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Arathian economy, worth 500 trillion Latinums a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 98,313 Latinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, neighboring nations are tired of Arathion's big fish stories, and King Davnan Godwin I is the self-declared God of all Arathion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arathion's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hivath.
Arathion is ranked 3,705th in the world and 1st in The Dimensional Rift for Most Primitive, scoring 143.04 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
