The Unforgiving Cold of Arctic Lands is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Andrey Bunkernyy with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.3 billion Arctisans 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 Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Arctisian economy, worth 714 trillion labor vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 216,501 labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, the Farmer's Almanac is the most popular college textbook, and an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arctic Lands's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is not the way to go.

Arctic Lands is ranked 8,596^th in the world and 179^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Average Incomes, with 216,501.46 Standard Monetary Units.
