The Disputed Territories of Arty is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 5.953 billion Artyians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The Artyian economy, worth 285 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,908 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arty's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arty is ranked 223,955^th in the world and 4^th in Constitutional Democratic States for Smartest Citizens, with 23.08 quips per hour.
