The Draconic Lands of Arthymia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Grand Dragon Grox VI with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 49.905 billion Arthymians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dormangwo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Arthymian economy, worth an astonishing 12,917 trillion Floryns a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 258,842 Floryns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A soldier's body is a temple, paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, and walking to the local pizza parlour earns a lovely sports participation ribbon. Crime is totally unknown. Arthymia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Drakonism.

Arthymia is ranked 164,034^th in the world and 7^th in Dragon for Largest Black Market, with 923 billion Standard Monetary Units.
