The Socialist Bastion of New Arkados is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Lenin II with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 19.192 billion Arkadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Arkadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,130 trillion arcads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 163,108 arcads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The comic book series 'Lenin II and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Arkados's national animal is the zephyr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gay Sex.

New Arkados is ranked 1,363^rd in the world and 20^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 14,180.61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
