The Sultanate of Arifiyyah is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 546 million Arifians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medina Arif. The average income tax rate is 43.7%.

The powerhouse Arifian economy, worth 49.8 trillion Arif Ringgits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,202 Arif Ringgits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, taking a walk on the wild side is punishable by death, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Arifian weed picker are way up, and the nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in the West Pacific. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arifiyyah's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arifiyyah is ranked 121,135^th in the world and 2,975^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,563.93 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
