The Constitutional Monarchy of Arcesius is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.392 billion Arcesians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 24.7%.

The powerhouse Arcesian economy, worth 236 trillion Arcesian marcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 98,785 Arcesian marcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

You can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, it's rumored that Marche Noire knows what the nation's generals eat for breakfast, and cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcesius's national animal is the unicorn.

Arcesius is ranked 214,425^th in the world and 41^st in Arcesia for Fattest Citizens, with 9.42 Obesity Rate.
