The Fédération Unie of North Arkana is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by le Conseil National with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and digital currency. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.452 billion Arkanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union Central-Nouveau Brezen. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkanan economy, worth a remarkable 6,490 trillion ARCS a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 289,102 ARCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, Le Conseil National tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Arkana's national animal is the Goshawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

North Arkana is ranked 281,336^th in the world and 5,997^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.17 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
