The Kingdom of Arthropol is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Claire Alard with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.895 billion Arthropolians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arthropol City. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arthropolian economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,962 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens ask "how many crooks could a nunchuck hook if a nun had nunchucks too?", a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, Arthropolians believe manners maketh the leader, and flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services. Crime is totally unknown. Arthropol's national animal is the golden eagle and gallic rooster, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Laïcité.

Arthropol is ranked 232,158^th in the world and 2^nd in Fraternal Union of States for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -19.75 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
