The Unforgiving Cold of Arctic Lands is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elizaveta Dubravina with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, digital currency, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate population of 7.191 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 Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Arctisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,821 trillion work-hours 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 253,245 work-hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arbitration is mightier than the sword, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, and old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is incorrect beliefs.

Arctic Lands is ranked 107,941^st in the world and 745^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 7.19 billion capita.
