The Great JGlenn of Arcatea is a massive, safe nation, ruled by JGlenn with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 2.198 billion Arcateans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greenleaf. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Arcatean economy, worth 141 trillion Standards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,176 Standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Arcatea's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arcatea is ranked 70,335th in the world and 375th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
