The Holy of Arstothuania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Michael Foxes with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.653 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foksokia. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arstothuanian economy, worth 263 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 159,199 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, and Arstothuania recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace. 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 7,090^th in the world and 179^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 92.67 on the Human Development Index.
