The Republic of Arkiria is a huge, safe nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 969 million Arkirians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Arkirian economy, worth 106 trillion Berks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 110,008 Berks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, A-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkiria's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arkiria is ranked 58,186^th in the world and 204^th in Europeia for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,808.29 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
