The Cold Personification of Arcti-Chan is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Arcti with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.798 billion Followers 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hii. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcti-Chan Follower economy, worth a remarkable 5,430 trillion Municipal Antarctic Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 424,300 Municipal Antarctic Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arcti-Chan is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, and the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcti-Chan's national animal is the Weddell Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Arcti-Chan is ranked 157th in the world and 4th in the Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 100.16 on the Human Development Index.
