The Regno d'Italia of Arcanda is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Umberto II with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.291 billion Italians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Italian economy, worth a remarkable 2,214 trillion lire a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,787 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, supervisors in Arcanda commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcanda's national animal is the ---, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arcanda is ranked 72,303rd in the world and 41st in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Stationary, with 653.602880305 days.
