The NationState of Arifiyyah is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.118 billion Arifians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medina Arif. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arifian economy, worth 965 trillion Ringgits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 135,599 Ringgits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', a government program is underway to revitalize Arifiyyah's beaches, and Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arifiyyah's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Arifiyyah is ranked 202,662nd in the world and 2,770th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
