The Fédération Unie of North Arkana is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by le Conseil National with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.5 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 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkanan economy, worth a remarkable 6,505 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 289,145 ARCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. 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 2,462^nd in the world and 73^rd in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 92.71 flags saluted per person per day.
