General Information: The Dominion of Arcadiana is a stunning nation of thirty five million inhabitants who while in recent years have become more urban still look to their great natural image as a source of national pride. The government is externally classified as a Socialist Democracy due to its progressive social policies and extensive civil and political rights. The capitol of Arcadiana is Kingston, the currency is the Arcadianan Dollar and the national animal is the Lion. Arcadiana is renowned bastion for civil rights with the personal freedoms of the individual regardless of gender, sexuality, race or creed highly emphasized. Full citizenship is extended to all who live within the borders of Arcadiana and the citizenship of those who emigrate is still internally recognized by the state. The age of majority in Arcadiana is 18 and upon reaching that age any citizen may hold full time employment, buy legal narcotics and alcohol and poses a full driver’s license. Arcadiana is an ex colony of Orchyre and was granted independence following the Great War. The land was settled in the early modern era by settlers seeking the great natural fortune the land had to offer. This however lead to conflict between the settlers and aboriginal people who inhabited the land prior. After a series of drawn out conflict the aboriginals were placed on reservations but in 1998 they were abolished as ugly leftovers of the colonial era. Despite this however there is still conflict as land development threatens the traditional way of life. ![]() The Dominion of Arcadiana is a constitutional monarchy with a the High King of Orchyre as the ceremonial head of state but represented by an elected Governor General in Arcadiana. The Federal government has an upper house of elected independent representatives based on population for a sober second thought. Below them is a party based lower house with a universal voting franchise. The leader of the party becomes the Prime Minister and head of government. The Prime Minister can then form a cabinet to run the Ministries run by members of the lower house within his or her party. ![]() Some important government positions are listed below: Governor General: David Maclean Prime Minister: Andrew Volker Minister of Defense: Michael Killborn Minister of Law: Patrick Gaunt Minister of Transportation: Dan Hepburn Minister of Resources: Judy Haig Minister of Finance: Mark Lewinski Minister of Foreign Affairs: Hugh McCorrie Minister of Health: Sam Yevenny Minister of Education: John Lockheart Minister of Culture: Walter Smiths Minister of Social Service: Harry Jackson Minister of Public Work: Jessica Greenwood Chief of Defense Staff: Stuart Judd Civil Service Commissionaire: Chris Hamade Official political parties of Arcadiana include the Socialist Party in power, the Conservative party as the official opposition, the liberals and Greens as other parties with seats and finally the Reactionaries, Ultratnationalists and Anarchists with no seats in the lower house.
