The Dictatorship of Arzackstan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Poluzk with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.425 billion Arzackstanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goverment Facility No1. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.7%.

The large but inefficient Arzackstanian economy, worth 294 trillion Puqs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,465 Puqs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 195,344 per year while the poor average 17,815, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

The dead fish in the national rivers aren't decomposing because even bacteria can't survive the levels of toxicity, the country is preparing for war, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, and the native owl population is in permanent hibernation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arzackstan's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Arzackstan is ranked 126,679th in the world and 6,324th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,520.75 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
