The Superstate of Gloriosa Arstotzka is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Big Brother with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.534 billion Arstotzkans 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pаяаdizиа. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Arstotzkan economy, worth 533 trillion Golds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing 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 an amazing 210,555 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, hipster cyclists declare that "metal is dead", the nation's favourite colour is red (Gloriosa Arstotzka has found 7 easter eggs), and pro-wrestling bouts open with a legal disclaimer insisting that any violence is guaranteed 100% faked. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gloriosa Arstotzka's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Personality.

Gloriosa Arstotzka is ranked 256,819^th in the world and 369^th in Flanelistan for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -38 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
