The Socialist Bastion of New Arkados is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lenin II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.095 billion Arkadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,552 trillion arcads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 153,776 arcads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, and members of majority races are forced out of their homes to make way for Bigtopians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Arkados's national animal is the zephyr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gay Sex.

New Arkados is ranked 238,134^th in the world and 493^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -13 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
