The People's Republic of Arcomique is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.127 billion Arcomiqueans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Arcomiquean economy, worth 77.8 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,585 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, and time flies when you're not having fun. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcomique's national animal is the fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Arcomique is ranked 271,751^st in the world and 10,283^rd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.03 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
