The Imperial Dominion of Arithei is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Lanair with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 49.342 billion Arithites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alqualondë. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aritheian economy, worth an astonishing 21,829 trillion Drachmas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 442,417 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Drachmas of property damage, and increasing numbers of children in Arithei have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers. Crime is totally unknown. Arithei's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arithei is ranked 332,280^th in the world and 776^th in NationStates for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -43.01 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
