The Imperial Conglomerate of Arkbergen is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Executive Director with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 26.887 billion Arkbergenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Labyrinth. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Arkbergenian economy, worth an astonishing 11,952 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 444,542 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,016,215 per year while the poor average 24,033, a ratio of 125 to 1.

Notable individuals are granted land and titles, anti-government web sites are springing up, protestors are soaking piles of Credits in blood to make a point about government incomes, and exports of live cows arrive pre-roasted. Crime is totally unknown. Arkbergen's national animal is the Black Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Occult Cabal.

Arkbergen is ranked 883^rd in the world and 1^st in Sovereign Corporate League for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 10,855.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
