The Socialist Federation of Arkuta is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ivan Kuznetsov with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.802 billion Arkutans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, with Law & Order, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Voldestok. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Arkutan economy, worth 182 trillion kets 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 Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 65,125 kets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Arkuta, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, and maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkuta's national animal is the Gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arkuta is ranked 28,531^st in the world and 11^th in Bethsaida for Nicest Citizens, with 20.42 average smiles per day.
