The Unforgiving Cold of Arctic Lands is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Andrey Bunkernyy with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, soft-spoken computers, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 3.359 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 Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Arctisian economy, worth 730 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 217,354 labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, Arctic Lands is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and the police ransack more houses than criminals do. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is incorrect beliefs.
