The Little dude of Artstokska is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Parsininsa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.366 billion Artstokskans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Whistle. The average income tax rate is 72.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Artstokskan economy, worth 173 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 126,928 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artstokska's national animal is the Lamp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Artstokska is ranked 29,997^th in the world and 15^th in Aspen for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,466.45 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
