The County of Artin is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Arthur with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 24.502 billion Artinians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camelot. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Artinian economy, worth 307 trillion Arts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 12,553 Arts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, Artin has designated Camelot as its capital city, King Arthur has just been declared ruler of Artin in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Artin's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artin's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Artin is ranked 151,518th in the world and 2nd in Holmond Holdings for Most Stationary, with 154.3635817628 days.
