The Warring States of Arque is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by None with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.192 billion Arqueans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of None. The average income tax rate is 70.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Arquean economy, worth 268 trillion Eiocaids a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 122,333 Eiocaids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

None has been nicknamed 'Robomop', supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arque's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Spiritualism.

Arque is ranked 265,980^th in the world and 4,580^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
