The Unforgiving Cold of Arctic Lands is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andrey Bunkernyy with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.12 billion Arctisans 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, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Arctisian economy, worth 383 trillion labor vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 181,086 labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arctic Lands's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Luxizism.

Arctic Lands is ranked 231,301^st in the world and 5,515^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
