The Artoonian Empire of Artoonia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Sofia with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 44.83 billion Artoonians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry is also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lumo. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Artoonian economy, worth an astonishing 19,938 trillion spesmiloj a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 444,763 spesmiloj, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, scientific progress marches ever forward with the first ever launch of a cheeseburger into space, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, and a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Artoonia's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is L'Eklezio Artunia.

Artoonia is ranked 19,663rd in the world and 1st in The Satellite of Love for Most Secular, with 59.63 Atheism Rate.
