The Republic of ARC Trooper 18 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate and lack of airports. The quiet, industrious population of 1.377 billion ARC Trooper 18ians 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 Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The ARC Trooper 18ian economy, worth 75.1 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,550 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Misbehaving Droids deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, and the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ARC Trooper 18's national animal is the Droid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ARC Trooper 18 is ranked 265,884^th in the world and 3,912^th in eta for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
