The Rogue Nation of Arithiania is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 196 million Arithianians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.3%.

The strong Arithianian economy, worth 10.7 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,672 golds, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Arithiania's national animal is the cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arithiania is ranked 38,884^th in the world and 8^th in The waters for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,290.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
