The Republic of Arcbeetle is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 623 million Arcbeetleans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.4%.

The strong Arcbeetlean economy, worth 34.6 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,607 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcbeetle's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Arcbeetle is ranked 286,687^th in the world and 226^th in The Bongos United for Largest Black Market, with 31.3 billion Standard Monetary Units.
