The Colony of ARK33 is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 11.17 billion ARK33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 11.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient ARK33ian economy, worth 481 trillion Citas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,144 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ARK33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

ARK33 is ranked 187,509^th in the world and 1^st in Alt Right Knights for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,448.96 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
