The Elite Land of Arkanik is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Arman with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 15.018 billion Arkanikians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bahowal. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkanikian economy, worth a remarkable 2,901 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,216 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and citizens buy season tickets on a 20-year payment plan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkanik's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sikhism.

Arkanik is ranked 6,282^nd in the world and 322^nd in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 56.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
