The Protectorate of Aritan Rairotyistan is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 250 million Aritan Rairotyistanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madona. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Aritan Rairotyistanian economy, worth 21.2 trillion Drams a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,807 Drams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and Aritan Rairotyistan has designated Madona as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aritan Rairotyistan's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aritan Rairotyistan is ranked 241,839^th in the world and 161^st in Byzantion for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.09 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
