The Imperial Republic of Arconia Defender is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord High Admiral with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 15.652 billion Arconians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arconia City. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Arconia Defenderian economy, worth 636 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,670 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, procrastination is a national sport, no cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arconia Defender's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jediism.

Arconia Defender is ranked 143,959th in the world and 1st in Cabo Wabo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
