The Federal Republic of Arcriea is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by High Consul Arthur Leutenetia with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.554 billion Arcrieans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcranopolis. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcriean economy, worth a remarkable 1,551 trillion Arkrants a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,393 Arkrants, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Where there's a will there is usually a password manager, prison visits increase substantially during election years, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcriea's national animal is the Arcriean Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arcriea is ranked 293,684^th in the world and 4,369^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 5.35 Obesity Rate.
