The Great Empire of Arythal is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Armal Ceren with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.905 billion Arythalians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Juvea. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arythalian economy, worth 616 trillion Trianons a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,891 Trianons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The studies of art and philosophy are banned, the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, and cremation is compulsory for the deceased. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arythal's national animal is the Red-striped wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Arythal is ranked 6,747^th in the world and 1^st in Aurora for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 48,738.29 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
