The NationState of Arifiyyah is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.17 billion Arifians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medina Arif. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arifian economy, worth 971 trillion Ringgits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 135,454 Ringgits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and hordes of tourists are ruining the environment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arifiyyah's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Arifiyyah is ranked 102,742^nd in the world and 1,126^th in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 12.05 kickbacks per hour.
