The Republic of Arcasis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Arnold Malcolm with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.411 billion Arcisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcosion. The average income tax rate is 23.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcisian economy, worth 147 trillion Arcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,369 Arcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arcasis's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arcasis is ranked 55,091^st in the world and 90^th in The Kodiak Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
