The Federation of Arkadigrad is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Arkadigradians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.1%.

The Arkadigradian economy, worth 849 billion Мелкоинs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 47,165 Мелкоинs, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkadigrad's national animal is the Перелётная котость.

Arkadigrad is ranked 262,519^th in the world and 6^th in Atropia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 16,056.98 Standard Monetary Units.
