The Republic of Artimasia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Virgil with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.147 billion Artimasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thule. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Artimasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,560 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,837 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, citizens are spontaneously attracted to each other, gossip magazines have pictures of President Virgil sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, and deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artimasia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Artimasia is ranked 9,225^th in the world and 6^th in Oatland for Most Cultured, scoring 118 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
