The Kingdom of Arcadisia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by His Majesty Lee Dan Seol with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.936 billion Arcadisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asadal. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcadisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,079 trillion Won a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 136,076 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcadisia's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Musok.

Arcadisia is ranked 117,538^th in the world and 11^th in United Alliance for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,195.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
