“Fui quod es, eris quod sum”

The Forgotten Kingdom of Arkhane is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prince Aurel Solstice with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 25.435 billion Arkhaneans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archsil. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arkhanean economy, worth a remarkable 3,022 trillion Arks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,850 Arks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex-ed is child's play, a state-funded project is investigating whether the moon is made of cheese, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and the passport doubles as a birth certificate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkhane's national animal is the Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Interfaith.

Arkhane is ranked 42,730^th in the world and 1,121^st in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
