The geography of Arcerion is a mix of serengeti-like lowlands and lush river valleys, spotted with small towns and larger bustling urban cities. It can best be described as subtropical with several local variations. Drought is not unusual in non-irrigated areas or in the presence of large rivers. It is not uncommon to see winter snows in Moorden while on the same day have extreme heat in the Northlea or Oakham plains. Severe thunder or lightning storms are not particularly common, but wind and dust storms can be more prevalent the farther away from irrigated land someone is. | The geography of Arcerion is a mix of serengeti-like lowlands and lush river valleys, spotted with small towns and larger bustling urban cities.

The OPSNS is the domestic and foreign intelligence service of Arcerion. Their primary function is the gathering of intelligence, with a focus on domestic terror threats and foreign intelligence that serves to protect or illuminate threats to Arcerion's interests. Before the 1950s, there was no formal intelligence apparatus, just a series of agencies that all had their own ability to conducted a limited scope of intelligence work. However after government reforms in the 1950s, these offices and directorates were merged and formed the Office of Public Safety and National Security. While the headquarters is located in the capital, Kurst, there is field offices located in each of the governates, and in most major cities. The OPSNS also works closely with domestic law enforcement agencies, as they frequently will have overlapping interests or mission sets, meaning the Deputy Minister often will work with the Minister of Public Safety to ensure that proper cooperation is maintained. | The [[Office of Public Safety and National Security|OPSNS]] is the domestic and foreign intelligence service of Arcerion.
