The Meat Worshippers of The Arbys Cult is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Arby's High Priest with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.04 billion Arbyists 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arby's Temple. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arbys economy, worth a remarkable 3,798 trillion curly fries a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 270,549 curly fries, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 929,781 per year while the poor average 57,729, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.

University graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, the nation has learned that pulling out is messy, Arby's High Priest's office is running a trade deficit of midnight oil, and caroling is considered a public disturbance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Arbys Cult's national animal is the Beef Chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Arbyism.

The Arbys Cult is ranked 31,785th in the world and 5th in TopCornion for Most Patriotic, with 37.26 flags saluted per person per day.
