The Holy of Arstothuania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Michael Foxes with a fair hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, aversion to nipples, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.669 billion Arstothuanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foksokia. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arstothuanian economy, worth 267 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,249 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, the climate agreement has actually increased the volume of hot air in the atmosphere, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arstothuania's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Arstothuania is ranked 32,838th in the world and 408th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,442.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
