The Dictatorship of Arklatravar-Istertia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Albrecht Novikov with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.76 billion Arklatravar-Istertians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Storvatran. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arklatravar-Istertian economy, worth a remarkable 1,016 trillion Clotors a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 213,589 Clotors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, retail boutiques encourage citizens to honor their military veterans by purchasing flag-patterned underwear, commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms, and politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arklatravar-Istertia's national animal is the 2-head deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Arklatravar-Istertia is ranked 8,977^th in the world and 1^st in Pact of Patriots for Highest Average Incomes, with 213,589.66 Standard Monetary Units.
