The Unforgiving Cold of Arctic Lands is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Andrey Bunkernyy with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 2.068 billion Arctisans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Arctisian economy, worth 370 trillion labor vouchers 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 179,344 labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Arctic Lands are blocked up with orders for new public loos, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arctic Lands's national animal is the Double-headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Luxizism.

Arctic Lands is ranked 275,011^th in the world and 6,569^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
