The United Socialist States of Arstokis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Dimtry Yasov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.338 billion Arstokisians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valiros. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Arstokisian economy, worth 103 trillion Rusis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,380 Rusis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Young people crowd pizza parlors praying to 'The Supreme Pizza, His Immaculate Munchiness', the endangered saltwater humpback Red winged hawk is only seen in captivity programs, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and things are looking up for sentient toilet bowls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arstokis's national animal is the Red winged hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nillism.

Arstokis is ranked 211,145^th in the world and 202^nd in Declansburg for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
