The Socialist Bastion of New Arkados is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lenin II with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.098 billion Arkadians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkadian economy, worth a remarkable 2,187 trillion arcads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 155,130 arcads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and members of majority races are forced out of their homes to make way for Bigtopians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Arkados's national animal is the zephyr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gay Sex.

New Arkados is ranked 2,579^th in the world and 33^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Safest, scoring 142.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
