The Kingdom of Arcadia and Elysium is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Catherine with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.052 billion Arcadia and Elysiumians 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hope. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcadia and Elysiumian economy, worth 579 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 189,852 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, international terrorists often get their weapons supply in Arcadia and Elysium, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcadia and Elysium's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arcadia and Elysium is ranked 164,682^nd in the world and 466^th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,867.76 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
