The Post-Cyberpunk Technocracy of Arcaz is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Will with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working population of 11.899 billion Arcazians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drakonis. The average income tax rate is 15.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arcazian economy, worth a remarkable 2,880 trillion guilds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 242,111 guilds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Arcaz" at foreigners, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, and people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns. Crime is totally unknown. Arcaz's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Arcaz is ranked 1,111th in the world and 3rd in Canada for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 965.56 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
