The Republic of Arakkiss is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Duke Atreides with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.792 billion Fremens 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 Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrakeen. The average income tax rate is 27.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Arakkissian economy, worth 229 trillion Solaris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,975 Solaris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's always rabbit season, nobody is forced to join the armed forces, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, and commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arakkiss's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arakkiss is ranked 214,456th in the world and 290th in Astoria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
