The Borderlands of ARCADIAaa is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Nines Nina Voss-Stark-Strange-Finch with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.062 billion Peasants are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aether. The average income tax rate is 56.9%.

The strong Arcadian economy, worth 66.1 trillion Australian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 62,240 Australian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, police spend all their time investigating officer on officer fender benders, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and three-year-olds have tantrums because they don't want to be drainage technicians when they grow up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ARCADIAaa's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Strangeism.

ARCADIAaa is ranked 196,246^th in the world and 1^st in Arkadiia for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 3.09 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
