The Welcome to Ancapistan of Artstokska is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Parsininsa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.739 billion Artstokskans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maryville. The average income tax rate is 72.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Artstokskan economy, worth 224 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 129,177 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

College-level writing classes are taught by undergraduate editors of the school newspaper, uprooting flowers for religious ceremonies is a felony, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, and Parsininsa reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artstokska's national animal is the Lamp, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is libertarianism.

Artstokska is ranked 218,206th in the world and 120th in Aspen for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 19.78 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
