The Kingdom of Saint Arsenio is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Macio with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 17.367 billion Saint Arsenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Glennwood. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Arsenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,964 trillion Arsenian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,676 Arsenian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gymnasts are in awe at the amount of hoops army applicants must jump through, the state-controlled media salutes those about to spy, elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, and pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Arsenio's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Saint Arsenio is ranked 149,994th in the world and 115th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,003.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
