Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Praetorian Republic of Arcomo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord Diederick Antonius with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.399 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopiapolis. The average income tax rate is 96%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, the government pours millions of aureis into rehabilitation programs annually, and Arcomo has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcomo's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the aurei.

Arcomo is ranked 92nd in Democratic Socialist Assembly and 96,472nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
