The Fédération Unie of North Arkana is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by le Conseil National with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.371 billion Arkanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded 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 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkanan economy, worth a remarkable 6,496 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 290,414 ARCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament. 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 982^nd in the world and 47^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 172.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
