'''Arcerion''', officially the '''Confederated Provinces of Arcerion''', is a country in Southern [[ | '''Arcerion''', officially the '''Confederated Provinces of Arcerion''', is a country in Southern [[Crona]]. It shares land borders with [[Kelekona]] to the North, as well as [[Titechaxha]]. It covers an area of 1,538,478 km<sup>2</sup> (594,010 sq mi) which includes the islands of Foxhey as well as several smaller islands. The country has a population of almost 90 million, the vast majority of which is situated within the country's coastal regions but with strong agricultural towns through the central highlands. It is a decentralized {{wp|Republic|republic}} comprising 4 major governates, and almost forty minor counties. The {{wp|Capital city|national capital}} is [[Kurst]], the country's second largest city and economic centre. Other major cities include [[Kinnaird]], [[Craigfearn]], [[Dalfearn]], [[Oakham]], [[Presdale]], [[Easthampton]], and [[Dunborough]]. | ||
Arcerion's colonial roots reach back to its settlement and founding as an Ardmori colony in the late 18th century. Arcer culture was formed and shaped during this time to reflect the settler and frontier mindset, forging a national identity that is currently referred to as [[Arco Determinism]]. Arcerion played a significant role in Crona's development in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. As a major Occidental nation with a large economy, developed national security apparatus, and strong civil institutions, it has been a bastion of democracy and commerce since its founding two hundred years prior. The nation is religious, the majority of Arcers subscribing to a mixture of Catholicism or other related religions, although a slowly growing irreligious movement amongst younger generations has continued to trend higher. Arcerion is highly developed amongst its city centres and large towns, ranking highly on the Human Development Index (HDI) and has one of the largest economies in South Crona. Arcerion's arable farmland and large agriculture sector means that it is relied upon for foodstuffs by most of its Indigenous neighbors, and its significant [[Energy in Arcerion|energy production]] (both nuclear, coal, and LNG) mean that it plays an outstated role in the South Cronan power grid. | Arcerion's colonial roots reach back to its settlement and founding as an Ardmori colony in the late 18th century.
