The United States of Arcticgale is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 285 million Arcticgaleans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Arcticgalean economy, worth 9.76 trillion Arcticgalean dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,233 Arcticgalean dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, all alcohol is banned, luck is off the table, and there is something rotten in the state of Arcticgale. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcticgale's national animal is the Blue Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arcticgale is ranked 272,072^nd in the world and 202^nd in The Dominion of Order for Smartest Citizens, with 18.72 quips per hour.
