The Federation of The United Lakes of artic is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and infamous sell-swords. The democratic, devout population of 23 million Polartics have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The Polartish economy, worth 711 billion Pounds a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,918 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Adultery has been made a capital offence, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt, and soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans. Crime is well under control. The United Lakes of artic's national animal is the kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The United Lakes of artic is ranked 256,476^th in the world and 924^th in The Frontier Sea for Fattest Citizens, with 7.2 Obesity Rate.
