'''Prussiatopia''' was one of the first nations to join the newly reformed Arctic. Now rusty and paranoid is a shell of it's former glory, being outshadowed by smaller, more radical thinking nations. The Prussiatopian Empire's collapsed brought nothing but ruin that it is still in today.

== Economy ==
+
 
+
The Economy of Arctic, in comparison to its sister region "The Arctic", has always been much stronger on a GDP basis, at the beggining by only 20 - 30%, but ever since the Nerobian Revolution the Arctic's economy has both exceeded The Arctic in a GDPPC basis and has grown to many multiple times the size of The Arctic's GDP.
+
 
+
Most of the growth within the Arctic region is fuelled by Nerobi Narraba's Cold-War pact, Prussiatopia, the Transitioning Economies (those that have grown from about 1,000 to almost 15,000 in a short amount of NS Years) and the frequent influx of immigrant Nation-States. The average Arctician compared to the average "The-Arctician" is wealthier by a ratio of 3:1, the Top 10% wealthy of the population of these region's are even more inequal in their wealth.

+
One aspect is Geography - due to the warmer nature of Arctic's climate and itself being located in the Canadian Arctic, as opposed to "The Arctic" which is located in Russian-Siberian Arctic, ships are able to travel with more ease thus speeding the time it takes to trade goods, and in turn, the time it takes it for them to reach the consumer, whether it be in proccessed or unproccesed form. The Second is that this side of Arctic is more oil-rich.
+
 
+
Another aspect is Ideology, while Arctic is generally democratic allowing more economic freedom, more freedom for currency to flow, and more freedom for the consumer to buy what is needed and even, desired, the command economy of The Arctic's communist regime doesn't allow for this freedom and so is poorer due to this disadvantage. The situation in The Arctic, however, is improving.

+
 
+
Though Prussiatopia was quite untyrinical, a few people decided to play a joke, making a made up suposedly homosexual character called "Jonathon Willywang", and putting him into a Prussiatopian election. Prussiatopia declined, saying he was an oppression to the freedom of choice of sexuality (through means of forcing everyone to believe that Homosexuality was good) and was thus not allowed to participate in the elections. However, Totalitarianity, a true Oppresive Regime who had the absolute rambunctiousness to claim himself 'free', had decided to twist this story, saying Prussiatopia was oppressing the people by rejecting the 'Willywang'. In actual fact, 4 of the competing party members were already evil, with one 1 in the left wing. The left wing party was losing, and just won by a marginal victory in the end. To this day, Totalitarianity claims to make biased comments against Prussiatopia controlling the entire PU, when in actuality GA and Nerobi have a rising influence in it as well. Totalitarinity has even made a law in which Prussiatopia's clones cannot participate in their region, and they banned clone voting. A clone had voted. This is quite contradictional, and a screw up of democracy.

"The land who's skin is of ice but who's heart is of fire" - Prekrasnaya Zemlya


Arctic was economically the first industrialised region in the entire Polar world, mostly attributable the Mark Wung's reforms of Prussiatopia; Prussiatopia had later spread the word of both industrialisation AND communism throughout Arctic and the Polar world, plus Arctic is the historic center of the Polar Union.

Arctic was under the 'fascesque' rule of the regional organization known as the Glacial Empire, which was founded under Ohrder with aid from The Ice Bears but now poised to change after the demise of Ohrder and most of the administrators of the GE.

There have been officialy three main eras of ideological prominence: the Mark Wung era in which communism (supported by the Polar Union) was by and large the only ideology endorsable within the region - it was combined with a huge industrialisation programme to get Arctic out of the prehistoric era that it was in from birth before Mark Wung; the Fascist era, mostly endorsed by Ohrder of the Glacial Empire; and now, the 'free' era - where officialy, no power exists, and nations can go about their business (this is despite a decline in apathy for advancement or economic growth and therefore a slip back into the prehistoric era). Both the Polar Union and the Glacial Empire are largely dead organisations. Ohrder never held an official regime, though he had many qualities of benevolent dictatorship - generally dissidence from the status quo was discouraged creating a fascistic environment. Arctic is largely capitalistic (market-socialistic in the cases where welfare states do exist, i.e. The Ice Bears) in economic nature. Arctic is also home to a small pocket of hard-core socialist nations, including Test Icicle and Industrial Manchester.

Freetopia After the founder nations of Freetopia were established in Arctic, tensions were high with the Arctic nation of Prussiatopia, who the Freetopians claimed held too much power within the region. After many debates and heated arguments between the politicians of both 'sides', the situation culminated in the Freetopian founders leaving the Arctic to found Freetopia in an attempt to put their more liberal political views into practice. Thus Freetopia was born
