The Fédération Unie of North Arkana is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by le Conseil National with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate population of 27.466 billion Arkanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union Central-Nouveau Brezen. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkanan economy, worth a remarkable 8,837 trillion ARCS a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 321,765 ARCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, light entertainment isn't dead, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Arkana's national animal is the Goshawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North Arkana is ranked 421^st in the world and 27^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 99.25 on the Human Development Index.
