The Commonwealth of Arqan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 26.167 billion Arqanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siggil. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Arqanian economy, worth 538 trillion xehads a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,592 xehads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Euthanasia is legal, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and Arqan has designated Siggil as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arqan's national animal is the equinel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Arqan is ranked 110,612^th in the world and 16^th in Asela for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 783.76 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
