The Unforgiving Cold of Arctic Lands is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andrey Bunkernyy with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 3.329 billion Arctisans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Arctisian economy, worth 722 trillion labor vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 216,950 labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, and back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arctic Lands's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is not the way to go.

Arctic Lands is ranked 5,623^rd in the world and 124^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 81.22 flags saluted per person per day.
