The People's Republic of Nulo Arcta is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nikolei Olezka with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.761 billion Nulo Arctans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nochet. The average income tax rate is 49.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nulo Arctan economy, worth 214 trillion Bytes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 122,072 Bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, and secret police deal with secret crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nulo Arcta's national animal is the Wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Olezkanism.

Nulo Arcta is ranked 104,783^rd in the world and 2,971^st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
