The Union of Arcturus Novus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tertius Quirinus Maro with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 26.186 billion Arcturans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veri. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcturan economy, worth a remarkable 5,577 trillion aurs 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 Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 213,005 aurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's nothing special about Tertius Quirinus Maro, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, Arcturans suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, and sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort. Crime is totally unknown. Arcturus Novus's national animal is the Arcturan valehound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Arcturan Orthodoxy.

Arcturus Novus is ranked 3,936^th in the world and 78^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 122.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
