The Republic of Arturle is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-working, democratic population of 69 million Arturleans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 38.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Arturlean economy, worth 5.03 trillion nayris a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 72,957 nayris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, Arturle City consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arturle's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arturle is ranked 98,735^th in the world and 424^th in the Outback for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 910.85 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
