The United Socialist States of Arszkickers is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Jorji with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 7.857 billion Arszkickers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grestin. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Arsztotzkan economy, worth a remarkable 2,153 trillion Dollarydoos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 274,091 Dollarydoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, becoming a missionary is a sure-fire route to martyrdom, and books are so highly regarded in Arszkickers that libraries are often revered as holy shrines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arszkickers's national animal is the Stamped Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is DETAINED.

Arszkickers is ranked 2,380th in the world and 1st in Galactic Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 138.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
