The Democratic Republic of Arkanglia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Preston Mikhaelus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.203 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, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Social Equality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Aquarion. The average income tax rate is 39%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, the police force is on a recruitment drive, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and more and more students are taking up a career in medicine. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Arkanglia's national animal is the angelic condor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ark credit.

Arkanglia is ranked 718th in 10000 Islands and 48,259th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 20 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
