Arcerion's Foreign Office, also called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, manages a number of embassies and consulates that assist Arcer citizens and business abroad, and also represents Arcer interests with foreign governments. Arcer embassies began as consulates and attache offices before Arcer sovereignty, and with the 1890 grant by the Ardmori Crown to Crown Governor Sir William Walter James with semi-sovereignty that Arcerion began formalizing its embassies with Ambassadors and full diplomatic staff. | Arcerion's Foreign Office, also called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, manages a number of embassies and consulates that assist Arcer citizens and business abroad, and also represents Arcer interests with foreign governments.

Arco Determinism, also known as Frontier Spirit, is the governing political and cultural philosophy of Arcer citizens, a group of Cronan-naturalized Carnish and Gaelic peoples who arrived between the 18th and 20th centuries to Southern Crona. The central ideology of Arcerion is a cultural and societal belief that the Arcer people (of the two major migratory groups during the colonial era) are destined to settle, civilize, and create a modern Occidental state in Crona. Concurrent to this, it is a common goal of the society and culture to defend Arcerion and its people, and by extension extend the rule of the Carnish Crown. It also represents a common ethnic and cultural heritage from AEngles, Gaels, and Carnish peoples on values such as community, the family compact, and self-reliance. | |||

Sports in Arcerion have a long history back to Ardmori soldiers posted to Kurst playing football in the summers to pass time, to horse racing and cattle sports in the Arcer Heartland. Today, Arcerion's most popular sport is rugby, which is organised and played by teams in the [[National Arco Rugby League]], or NARL. The sport regularly draws millions of fans to attend its regular season games, and the viewership has remained steady throughout the decades, even with a switch to more modern methods of viewing such as internet live-streaming. For individual sports, Arcerion also has a number of popular golf courses, and sport shooting remains one of the main national past times. | |||
Arcerion also has a special relationship with the [[Istroyan Games]], as the capital city of Kurst was the first Cronan city to old the Olympiad event since its founding, with the Kurst Sumer Games held in 1970. This was to be followed decades later by the 2034 Kinnaird Summer Games, the second time Arcerion was to host the summer games. Arcerion also holds the distinguishing feat of being the first nation to host winter games in Crona, with the 1984 Easthampton Winter games, which was a chance for Arcerion, recently out of the Fourth Bush War, to display the beauty of the Ailach mountains and how modern of a city Easthampton was. Arcerion held a fourth Istroyan Games on its home soil in 2016, utilizing the older Easthampton facilities with less than a year's notice as the games were originally intended for Akwesasne, [[Quetzenkel]] but had to be relocated due to the [[South Nysdra War]]. | |||
Arcer citizens also regularly participate in winter sports, with ice hockey and alpine skiing being amongst the national favourites. [[Ashden]], a small town in the northern part of Northlea Governorate, in the [[Northumbraeland Mountains]], is one of the most popular ski destinations in Ixnay. | |||
