The Post-Cyberpunk Technocracy of Arcaz is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Will with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 11.807 billion Arcazians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drakonis. The average income tax rate is 13.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcazian economy, worth a remarkable 2,871 trillion guilds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 243,201 guilds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown. Arcaz's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arcaz is ranked 31,120th in the world and 42nd in Canada for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,230.84 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
