The United Men of Minas Arnor is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Aragorn II Elessar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.925 billion Arnorians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minas Tirith. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Arnorian economy, worth 996 trillion Castars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 202,297 Castars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Otherwise healthy people are being sent to internment camps because they have VODAIS, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and fathers are free to sell their daughters to whomever they choose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minas Arnor's national animal is the Great Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Iluvatarism.

Minas Arnor is ranked 105,285th in the world and 33rd in Middle Earth for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,606.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
