The Republic of Arcasis is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Arnold Malcolm with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.3 billion Arcisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcosion. The average income tax rate is 16.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcisian economy, worth 465 trillion Arcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,321 Arcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Arcisians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", school children are expected to know the names of all seven hundred native tribes and their cultural practices, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arcasis's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arcasis is ranked 29,377^th in the world and 50^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Accessible, scoring 436.32 on the Keller-Reeve Index.
