The Fédération Unie of North Arkana is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by le Conseil National with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.424 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, 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 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkanan economy, worth a remarkable 6,454 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 287,844 ARCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, and politicians always seem reluctant to publish their tax returns. 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 292,318^th in the world and 6,424^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -1130.88 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
