The Socialist Federation of Arkuta is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ivan Kuznetsov with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 2.358 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Voldestok. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Arkutan economy, worth 150 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 63,829 kets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, Ivan Kuznetsov's reputation is hard as nails, Max Barry is this year's Miss Arkuta, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. 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 56,035^th in the world and 9^th in Bethsaida for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
