“Whatever!!”

The Dominion of Arkayn Stretenby is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Arkayn Stretenby with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 11.774 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden Valley. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Book Publishing and Automobile Manufacturing.

Citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, skateparks can be found in every city, and elks are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way'. Crime is totally unknown. Arkayn Stretenby's national animal is the elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Methodist, and its currency is the belzedar.

Arkayn Stretenby is ranked 1st in the region and 15,693rd in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.
