The Federated Kingdoms of Arcaleio is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hadrien Clément with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 1.398 billion Arcaleians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nestora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcaleian economy, worth 242 trillion Arcaleio Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 173,326 Arcaleio Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 762,866 per year while the poor average 24,719, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, royals are always ready with their diamond-encrusted toilet plungers in case a royal flush doesn't work, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and daredevil kayakers frequently race against runaway hippos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arcaleio's national animal is the Member of Parliament, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Arcaleian Imperial Faith.

Arcaleio is ranked 146,712^th in the world and 1,602^nd in the Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,628.82 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
