The Federated Kingdoms of Arcaleio is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hadrien Clément with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 1.446 billion Arcaleians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nestora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcaleian economy, worth 251 trillion Arcaleio Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 173,366 Arcaleio Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 622,445 per year while the poor average 34,596, a ratio of 18.0 to 1.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Nestora, foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arcaleio's national animal is the Member of Parliament, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Arcaleian Imperial Faith.

Arcaleio is ranked 43,518^th in the world and 453^rd in the Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 79.05 on the Human Development Index.
