The Astral Primacy of Arstoria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Syrene Abel with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, compulsory vegetarianism, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.535 billion Arstorians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flanaca. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arstorian economy, worth 269 trillion Arstoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is an impressive 106,460 Arstoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is often referred to as "the biggest drug dealer in the nation", modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, the nation tends not to learn from its history, and the universal wage level is set by dividing GDP by the number of citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Arstoria's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pegasus Worship.

Arstoria is ranked 2,656^th in the world and 53^rd in the Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 5,466.53 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
