The Armed Citizenry of Arkos1 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by A Council of 500 with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 12.497 billion Arkosians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Annuminas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkos1ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,737 trillion Gold credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 299,053 Gold credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, relations with Merovingia are as cold as Arkos1's high-security cell blocks, and public toilets are famed for their rear entries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arkos1's national animal is the Martial Bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Angel of Security Beatrice.

Arkos1 is ranked 331,165^th in the world and 67^th in Sphere of Conservative Republics for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 2.34 Effective Tax Rate.
