The Federation of Artiloa is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 668 million Artiloans 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 Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Artiloan economy, worth 79.4 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 118,893 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Artiloa's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Artiloa is ranked 270,044^th in the world and 95^th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,254.31 Standard Monetary Units.
