The Republic of Arkiria is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 927 million Arkirians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Arkirian economy, worth 101 trillion Berks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 109,162 Berks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, A-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, and the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkiria's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arkiria is ranked 233,736^th in the world and 839^th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,128.96 Standard Monetary Units.
