The Reich der Artherien of The United Artherian Federation is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Andrew Barnes with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.676 billion Artherians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neuberlin. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Artherian economy, worth a remarkable 2,514 trillion Creds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 376,640 Creds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, war vets look after war animals, the military is plagued with unethical researchers, and there's no weight to modern politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The United Artherian Federation's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

The United Artherian Federation is ranked 205,309^th in the world and 19^th in United Forum of Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -20.59 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
