The Commonwealth of The Arthlandic Isles is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Frederick II with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 8.691 billion Arthlanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bergstadt. The average income tax rate is 24.1%.

The strong Arthlandic economy, worth 498 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 57,383 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

A spate of enforced closures has left 'Government FM' as the nation's only radio station, The Arthlandic Isles has designated Bergstadt as its capital city, King Frederick II has just been declared ruler of The Arthlandic Isles in an international press conference, and Gustavianism has been named as The Arthlandic Isles's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Arthlandic Isles's national animal is the eagle and its national religion is Gustavianism.

The Arthlandic Isles is ranked 137,643^rd in the world and 4^th in A Different Earth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
