The Federation of Arctic Islanders is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.537 billion Arctic Islandersians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The thriving Arctic Islandersian economy, worth 638 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,896 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 222,655 per year while the poor average 14,976, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Arctic Islanders's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arctic Islanders is ranked 236,463^rd in the world and 1^st in Arctic Islands for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 855.52 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
