The Pacific Hub of Arcrovia is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 742 million Arcrovians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcrov. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcrovian economy, worth 92.4 trillion Stampees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 124,523 Stampees, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, and the ABI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arcrovia's national animal is the Jellyfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Arcrovia is ranked 103,350th in the world and 562nd in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 864.88 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
