The New Age Republic of Arktyll is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Elder Apei'lei with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 2.735 billion Arktyllians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lonesome Town. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Arktyllian economy, worth 253 trillion scraps a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,669 scraps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, hundreds of teenagers die every year at the Arktyllian Hungry Games, and Elder Apei'lei's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arktyll's national animal is the Hydros, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Arktyll is ranked 260,638th in the world and 8,531st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 15.06819868968 days.
