The Kingdom of Arthyia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 455 million Arthyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyrus. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Arthyian economy, worth 22.1 trillion Thaens a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,505 Thaens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation, discarded pennies litter the streets, and international tensions are high as Arthyia threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arthyia's national animal is the White Tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arthyia is ranked 67,102^nd in the world and 2,950^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,029.97 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
