The Borderlands of ARCADIAaa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aelion Valerius Dawn-Bringer Star-Weaver with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.427 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aether. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Arcadian economy, worth 95.3 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 66,810 Australian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Toddler groups have taken over local libraries, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, and streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all. 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 108,815^th in the world and 1^st in Arkadiia for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,810.94 Standard Monetary Units.
