The Antiquity of United Arcasia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Xena with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.588 billion Arcasians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newark. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcasian economy, worth 175 trillion Sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,558 Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to United Arcasia as a reminder of their "special relationship", the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Emperor Xena in ermine and velvet garb, and belief that Emperor Xena is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Arcasia's national animal is the Reindeer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

United Arcasia is ranked 216,556^th in the world and 8,072^nd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.6 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
