The Republic of Arty 37 is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, devout population of 299 million Arty 37ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.0%.

The Arty 37ian economy, worth 13.4 trillion Colors a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,806 Colors, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 151,392 per year while the poor average 9,808, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

The government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, and those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away. Crime is moderate. Arty 37's national animal is the Butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Arty 37 is ranked 204,972^nd in the world and 66^th in Card Mine of Arty for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 33,157.07 Standard Monetary Units.
