The Imperial Federation of Nova-Arcadia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Constantine XII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 1.556 billion Arcadians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcadian economy, worth 205 trillion imperial arcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,322 imperial arcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nova-Arcadia's national animal is the golden eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Nova-Arcadia is ranked 77,547^th in the world and 256^th in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 25.55 kickbacks per hour.
