The Dominion of Arkantis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jakalvar with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cheerful population of 10.516 billion Arkantii enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Twin-Bays. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkantii economy, worth a remarkable 2,372 trillion Republic Credits 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 225,603 Republic Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan, the government is spending more on exports to Brasilistan than it's receiving from tariffs on the imports, and food shipments to Brasilistan have been replaced with DIY fishing rods and unintelligible instruction manuals. Crime is totally unknown. Arkantis's national animal is the Golden Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arkantis is ranked 259,012^th in the world and 9,835^th in The East Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -19.13 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
