The Officer Dismisser of Artenburg is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.885 billion Artenburgians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong Artenburgian economy, worth 478 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 69,451 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,136 per year while the poor average 16,930, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Artenburg's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Artenburg is ranked 240,449^th in the world and 3,180^th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Most Authoritarian, with 410.4 milliStalins.
