The Federation of Artiloa is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 630 million Artiloans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Artiloan economy, worth 73.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 116,764 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Artiloa's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Artiloa is ranked 10,886^th in the world and 108^th in Refugia for Nicest Citizens, with 29.98 average smiles per day.
