The Allied States of ArkTech is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.816 billion ArkTechians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ark. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.0%.

The frighteningly efficient ArkTechian economy, worth 460 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 79,170 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 371,248 per year while the poor average 10,065, a ratio of 36.9 to 1.

Children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, citizens must pay to enjoy ArkTech's pristine beaches, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, and government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ArkTech's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ArkTech is ranked 144,658th in the world and 2,909th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 181.74861284748 days.
