The Federal United states of Arkhos is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by President James H Vale with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, flagrant waste-dumping, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working population of 946 million Arkhosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mastherwaryen🌃. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.9%.

The all-consuming Arkhosian economy, worth 105 trillion Arkhosians Aegis💵💸s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 111,497 Arkhosians Aegis💵💸s, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, citizens gather eagerly to witness exotic animals being blasted out of cannons, the Mastherwaryen🌃 Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arkhos's national animal is the Arkhosians Cats😺, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Arkhos is ranked 295,580^th in the world and 3,948^th in The North Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.75 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
