Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Old Man and the Hawks of New South Arctica is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zagor with an even hand, and notable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate population of 11.918 billion 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Defence are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hieraconopolis. The average income tax rate is 95%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-ice cube mansions, New South Arctica is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout New South Arctica after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New South Arctica's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The Cult of Horus, and its currency is the ice cube.

New South Arctica is ranked 5th in The Black Hawks and 5,262nd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 26 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
