The Confederated City-States of Arclandia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Arc Ignius Rex with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.37 billion Arclandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adminishire. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Arclandian economy, worth 225 trillion e-coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,297 e-coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Arclandian satellites can detect it, untold millions of e-coins are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, and reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arclandia's national animal is the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arclandia is ranked 186,612^th in the world and 7,652^nd in Lazarus for Largest Black Market, with 38.4 billion Standard Monetary Units.
