“For God, King, and Country”

The Dread Imperium of Arturickia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Arturick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.071 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Conservatropolis. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing industries.

Drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, Arturickia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffer-driven limousines. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Arturickia's national animal is the Dire Badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Parasuborthodox Arturickianism, and its currency is the latinum bar.

Arturickia is ranked 246th in the region and 53,319th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens.
