The Democratic States of Arknasi is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 254 million Arknasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Arknasian economy, worth 8.54 trillion Arknasi Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,620 Arknasi Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, one of the most popular models in Arknasi has a scarred face and one working eye, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arknasi's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arknasi is ranked 249,008^th in the world and 9,629^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
