The Democratic Empire of Arkalarius is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kaiser Hans Von Ark with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.806 billion Arkians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arkus. The average income tax rate is 31.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Arkian economy, worth 79.9 trillion Arks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,248 Arks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, radio stations offer prizes to callers who can guess this month's most endangered species, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkalarius's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arkalarius is ranked 43,984^th in the world and 1,883^rd in The East Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 51.35 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
