The NationState of Arifiyyah is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.071 billion Arifians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medina Arif. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arifian economy, worth 970 trillion Ringgits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,209 Ringgits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and a government program is underway to revitalize Arifiyyah's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arifiyyah's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Arifiyyah is ranked 7,631st in the world and 117th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
