The Kingdom of Arcadia and Elysium is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Catherine with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.107 billion Arcadia and Elysiumians 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hope. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcadia and Elysiumian economy, worth 599 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 192,929 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arcadia and Elysiumian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcadia and Elysium's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arcadia and Elysium is ranked 4,758^th in the world and 96^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,453.09 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
