The Unforgiving Cold of Arctic Lands is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Elizaveta Dubravina with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 7.158 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 Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Arctisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,810 trillion work-hours 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 252,976 work-hours, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a hole in the heart of every Arctisian city, people with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, the government defends a woman's right to choose, and a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park. 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 incorrect beliefs.

Arctic Lands is ranked 307,035^th in the world and 2,286^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -15.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
