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
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.
