The Frozen City-state of Arcitz is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Queen Freya with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.873 billion Arcitzans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fólkvangr. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcitzian economy, worth 490 trillion Snowflakes 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 Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 126,565 Snowflakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Torture is illegal, proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcitz's national animal is the Squirr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aethism.

Arcitz is ranked 8,953^rd in the world and 18^th in Wintreath for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 13,790.82 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
