The Federation of Artzoka is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Cerdinakz I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.351 billion Artzosk are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poradiznak. The average income tax rate is 57.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Artzok economy, worth a remarkable 1,216 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,722 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The house always wins, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, acknowledgement of minority groups is usually a Trojan horse, and light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artzoka's national animal is the falcon and its national religion is none.

Artzoka is ranked 316,885^th in the world and 3,129^th in the Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 45.36 percentage of bribes refused.
