The Federation of Arcadian States and Commonwealths is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Jule Beaulne with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.849 billion Arcadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casatolo. The average income tax rate is 50.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Arcadian economy, worth 928 trillion Marks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,580 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, no one born in Arcadian States and Commonwealths can fix a leaky faucet, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Mark mansions, and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Arcadian Navy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcadian States and Commonwealths's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Arcadian States and Commonwealths is ranked 62,802^nd in the world and 8^th in Markion for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
