The Post-Cyberpunk Technocracy of Arcaz is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Avis with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 16.811 billion Arcazians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drakonis. The average income tax rate is 51.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcazian economy, worth a remarkable 4,576 trillion guilds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 272,220 guilds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, black gold is looking more brown these days, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime is totally unknown. Arcaz's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arcaz is ranked 1,162^nd in the world and 7^th in Canada for Most Cultured, scoring 344 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
