The United States of Artiminzana is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 19.573 billion Artiminzanans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalidonsn. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Artiminzanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,685 trillion Artimins a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,120 Artimins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artiminzana's national animal is the Zaneorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Artiminzana is ranked 17,430^th in the world and 471^st in Balder for Largest Populations, with 19.6 billion capita.
