The Republic of Arakkiss is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Duke Atreides with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.778 billion Fremens hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrakeen. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arakkissian economy, worth 226 trillion Solaris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,408 Solaris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, criminals are thrown to the Phoenixes to repay their debt to society, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arakkiss's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arakkiss is ranked 10,795^th in the world and 14^th in Astoria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 156.06 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
