The Forgotten Kingdom of Arkhane is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Aurel Solstice with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 26.766 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 Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archsil. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arkhanean economy, worth a remarkable 3,144 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 117,470 Arks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A flying elephant and Prince Aurel Solstice share the same nickname, bar brawls are an hourly occurrence, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. 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 308,612^th in the world and 6,266^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -433.09 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
