The Most Serene Republic of Republic of Artago is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Dyffros Leomenor with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 2.48 billion Artagoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kruedence. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Artagoan economy, worth 344 trillion klezochings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 138,943 klezochings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Republic of Artago are blocked up with orders for new public loos, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Artago's national animal is the Pacoodeo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The National Institute of Quantum Data.

Republic of Artago is ranked 5,833^rd in the world and 92^nd in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
