The Holy of Arstothuania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Michael Foxes with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.805 billion Arstothuanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foksokia. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arstothuanian economy, worth 294 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,020 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military barracks resemble five-star hotels, ads no longer feature soldiers becoming green super soldiers by drinking Eckie-Cola, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arstothuania's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Arstothuania is ranked 11,654th in the world and 304th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,954.13 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
