The Pacific Hub of Arcrovia is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 748 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 relatively small, corrupt, 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 28.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Arcrovian economy, worth 93.5 trillion Stampees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 124,984 Stampees, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

The military struggles with recruitment, animated characters are allowed to stab each other but not hold hands, Arcrovian-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, and university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts. Crime 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 225,572nd in the world and 754th in Europe for Safest, scoring 46.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
