The Republic of Arquan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kalea Valerius with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.556 billion Arquanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casteldo. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arquanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion Spoons a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,559 Spoons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arquan's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arquan is ranked 63,282^nd in the world and 3,166^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 137,357.29 Standard Monetary Units.
