The Meat Worshippers of The Arbys Cult is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Arby's High Priest with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.982 billion Arbyists are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arby's Temple. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arbys economy, worth a remarkable 3,752 trillion curly fries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 268,390 curly fries, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 908,364 per year while the poor average 58,603, a ratio of 15.5 to 1.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Arby's Temple to enjoy their national art, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, and local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Arbys Cult's national animal is the Beef Chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Arbyism.

The Arbys Cult is ranked 173,504th in the world and 9th in TopCornion for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 102.09 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
