The Draconic Lands of Arthymia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Dragon Grox VI with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 49.981 billion Arthymians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dormangwo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Arthymian economy, worth an astonishing 12,919 trillion Floryns a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 258,493 Floryns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, walking to the local pizza parlour earns a lovely sports participation ribbon, hospitals have unveiled new guidelines suggesting that latex gloves do not count as clothing, and children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out. Crime is totally unknown. Arthymia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Drakonism.

Arthymia is ranked 332,143rd in the world and 10th in Dragon for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring -13.78 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
