The Empire of Arnefol is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 247 million Arnefolianos enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.1%.

The Arnefoliano economy, worth 15.1 trillion Crtiches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 61,049 Crtiches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, and pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Arnefol's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Arnefol is ranked 134,636^th in the world and 800^th in 10000 Islands for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.17 percentage of bribes refused.
