The Father of Northern Ariton Ryursioy is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Amir Al-Farooq with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.702 billion Aritons are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nordaritium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.5%.

The all-consuming Ariton Ryursioyian civilian economy, worth 162 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,291 baht, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 280,016 per year while the poor average 25,548, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Northern Ariton Ryursioy, and balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Ariton Ryursioy's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is islam.

Northern Ariton Ryursioy is ranked 66,098th in the world and 1,195th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,314.04 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
