The Fédération Unie of North Arkana is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by le Conseil National with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.398 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union Central-Nouveau Brezen. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkanan economy, worth a remarkable 6,439 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 287,508 ARCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children listen incredulously when their grandparents explain what a "running river" is, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. 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 14,486^th in the world and 623^rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 103 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
