The CMSD CAT of Arcilion is a massive, safe nation, ruled by cat with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 2.218 billion Арцилионцы are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lajsky. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Арцилион economy, worth 47.1 trillion ComArcs 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 21,232 ComArcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and moonshine has made a resurgence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcilion's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodoxism.

Arcilion is ranked 148,747^th in the world and 2,792^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 798.21 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
