The Parliastate of Arcrovia is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, vat-grown people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 692 million Arcrovians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcrov. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcrovian economy, worth 84.7 trillion Stampovs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 122,334 Stampovs, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Homeless people are frequently charged with trespassing on public property, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, and blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcrovia's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Arcrovia is ranked 262,260^th in the world and 1,105^th in Europe for Largest Populations, with 692 million capita.
