Arco Diaspora

The Arco Diaspora refers to the demographics of Arcer citizens living abroad outside the sovereign borders of Arcerion. Arcer citizens live abroad for a variety of reasons, usually these are permanent residents in other Cronan countries, members of the Arcer business community working for respective private and public enterprises, non-governmental organization workers such as doctors and humanitarian aid workers, or Arcer citizens on official business such as diplomatic missions.

The Arco diaspora is most prominently found within the Arcosphere, however there is significant Arcer presence in friendly nations or those with cultural ties, such as Ardmore or Alstin. There are approximately 83,000 Arcer citizens living abroad as of 2030, with that number expected to grow by 2040.

Arcer citizens abroad spread the culture of Arcerion, especially with the establishment of pubs, rugby teams, barbecue, and through the spread of country music and Gaelish traditions like highland games.

Demography by Nation

Republic of Istrenya

Historical Arcer ties to Istrenya due to their joint custody of the Warrington Strait have long led to a close bond between the two nations. Istrenya is Arcerion's only close Indigenous partner, and while the two do not share any formal alliances there is a significant amount of cross-Malentine maritime commercial traffic between Karaba and Kurst. Historically, the Istrenyan Crisis represented a low point of Arcer citizens in the country as it underwent a period of socialist upheaval, however after relations normalized by the 1970s, Arcer businessmen and consular officials began to return to Eastern Istrenya. To date, Istrenya has the highest number of Arcer citizens, with most being located in the nation's eastern cities of Karaba, Madara, and Enunana. Istrenya is the country with the single highest number of Arcer citizens and Arcer-identifying peoples, with nearly 15,000. Although Arcerion doesn't allow dual citizenship, it is estimated by the Arcer consulate that there is likely 4-5,000 additional naturalized Arcers in Istrenya.

United Republic of Alstin

Cultural ties between Alstin and Arcerion are common as both nations are heavily settled by Ængle peoples. They are both members of the Cronan Security and Trade Union, and they share a significant joint interest in the peace and security of South Crona, especially as the Alstinian government has negotiated the end of multiple conflicts during the Telekonese Conflict. The significant amount of commerce and maritime trade that passes through the Sea of Orxital is also helped by heavy commercial railway routes that link Arcerion and Alstin's mainland Cronan sovereign territory via the Arco National Railway Service. The two nations also have a historical relationship based on a shared set of Occidental values such as free market trade, liberal democracy, and strong national security apparatus. The 13,000 Arcers in Alstin is expected to grow to over 20,000 by 2035 with increased relations between the two nations and cross-Malentine trade.
