The Second Republic of Arcanstotska is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Sidorov Pevlovich with an even hand, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working population of 9.496 billion Arcanstotskans 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.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siloyev. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcanstotskan economy, worth a remarkable 1,433 trillion Rubels a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 150,957 Rubels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Vacationing Arcanstotskans expect to be treated as royalty, the backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, and children who express a belief in Santa are labelled 'delusional cultists'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcanstotska's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Arcanstotska is ranked 174,592^nd in the world and 7,155^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 39.05 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
