The Nuhaatyc Republic of Arutiise is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mand'alor with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.432 billion Mando'ade are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keldabe. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mando'adyc economy, worth an astonishing 19,373 trillion ÅⱯÅpaks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 681,387 ÅⱯÅpaks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting the best Mando'adyc restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, exported livestock are wined and dined before they are flat ironed, the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, and the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arutiise's national animal is the Nuhaatyc, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dar'manda.

Arutiise is ranked 193^rd in the world and 1^st in The Atheist Empire for Most Corrupt Governments, with 895.64 kickbacks per hour.
