The Federal Republic of Arcadenza is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 613 million Arcadenzans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcadenzan economy, worth 66.1 trillion Dens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 107,766 Dens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, the number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Arcadenzans can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, and you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arcadenza's national animal is the Thylacine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Arcadenza is ranked 282,578^th in the world and 576^th in Sophia for Most Pacifist, with 13.21 cheeks turned per day.
