The NationState of Arifiyyah is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 7.071 billion Arifians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medina Arif. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arifian economy, worth 969 trillion Ringgits 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 Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,140 Ringgits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arifiyyah's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Arifiyyah is ranked 7,606th in the world and 117th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 106.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
