The Outposts of The Arctic Rim is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Duke Rimwalker with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 29.039 billion Arctic Rimians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Law & Order, with Environment, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rim City. The average income tax rate is 94.0%.

The Arctic Rimian economy, worth a remarkable 2,004 trillion rims a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Gambling industry. Average income is 69,015 rims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

NationStates staff are easily recognizable by their gold-plated mansions, traumatized ex-ambassadors seek treatment for their "desk dissociation", taxpayer-funded government ads are promoting Brancaland as a premier filming location, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Arctic Rim's national animal is the rim walker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Arctic Rim is ranked 20,487^th in the world and 3^rd in The Kingdom of Burgundy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
