The State of Arthulia is a huge, safe nation located in the Arctic region of Novaterra, with its capital city located in Vustok. It is ruled by Reetta Kirsti with a fair hand, and it is known for its' harsh climates, its unlimited-speed roads, and its tight regulation of foreign companies. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy. The national animal is the Emperor Penguin. It is also known for the large civil rights and political freedoms, even while being under the same party ever since the Arthulian Revolution. The Economy has been recovering since the end of the Unification Wars. Vustok is the capital and largest city. To the North, its coasts are bathed by the Arthic Ocean, and to the south, by the Gulf of Wistria. It is based around the Arthulian Isthmus. The lands of Arthulia are mainly snowy tundras and taigas. Its' average temperatures range from -5ºC to 2ºC. It is known for also having large amounts of rain.
Arthulia was originally founded as a Kingdom by a group of people which migrated from the South, populating the region; in 2169, after the union of multiple settlements. In the second half of the 23rd century, Arthulia was plunged by a period of warlordism and division, only ending with the instauration of the National Workers' Arthulian Regime, which ended in 2312 with the Arthulian Revolution.
Arthulia rejoined the World Assembly in 2314, and after a series of economic reforms, it has now become an economic powerhouse, with a very large industry. Most of the cities in Arthulia are partial "underground cities", with hall streets, to "escape" from the cold.
