The Monarchy of Diarcesia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Phlegomy with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 16.753 billion Diarcesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcesius. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Diarcesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,688 trillion golds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 160,460 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Double-parking is on the rise as automobile numbers increase, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, the newest shade developed by Diarcesia's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Diarcesia's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Diarcesia is ranked 3,632^nd in the world and 1^st in Diarcesia for Safest, scoring 136.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
