The Unforgiving Cold of Arctic Lands is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Andrey Bunkernyy with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.051 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 Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Arctisian economy, worth 366 trillion labor vouchers 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 178,713 labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, postcards from Arctisian driving test centres are popular souvenirs, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Luxizism.

Arctic Lands is ranked 7,235^th in the world and 170^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,942.64 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
