The Dominion of Arkayn Stretenby is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Arkayn Stretenby with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 14.94 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent 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.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime is well under control. 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 2nd in Macfora Forever and 93,936th in the world for Best Weather, with -532 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
