The Dacarbatian Capital City of Arkaeus is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.652 billion Arkaeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The very strong Arkaean economy, worth 101 trillion Dacarbatian Won a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 61,388 Dacarbatian Won, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 248,900 per year while the poor average 10,078, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Arkaeus's national animal is the Arkaean Ulysses Bird, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Arkaeus is ranked 272,076^th in the world and 7^th in Dacarbatia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
