The Free Land of Artilla the Honey is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Periwinkle Wellbeloved with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 26.974 billion Artillians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ink-Pots. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Artilla the Honeyian economy, worth a remarkable 3,234 trillion Ink Blots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 119,921 Ink Blots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded astronauts hitch rides on foreign spacecraft to get home, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Artilla the Honey, courtrooms can be a little sketchy, and it's best not to ask what goes into Ink-Pots Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artilla the Honey's national animal is the Squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Artilla the Honey is ranked 5,988th in the world and 252nd in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 17,235.79 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
