The '''Kingdom of Arcadia''' (Dutch: '''Koninkrijk Arcadië''') is a wikibased country. 

The country is not yet present on the claim card of MCS, where it is intended to include the entire Jasonian Archipelago. This group of islands is counted among the [[Tapfer]] continent. The capital of Arcadia is Koningsrots, centrally located on the island [[Bella Insula]].

The population of Arcadia consists of three tribes: Awarri, Batavii and Escomanii. Each tribe has its own cultural background and dependency. Despite this division, the kingdom does not have a federal system, but is a unitary state.

With the [[Act of Unification]], Arcadia came into being as a kingdom under the government of a monarch from the [[House of Vinandy]]. The current monarch is [[Gustavus des Vinandy]].


== Name ==

For the unification of the tribes, Arcadia was more an indication for the islands. The islands that together form a utopian country of fruit, forests, meadow and clear water. It is thought that Arcadia stands for a paradisiacal and idyllic country. The Greek Αρκαδία (Arkadia) means sweetly unspoilt.

Another thought is that the name comes from the primal god Arca, who according to a lost and ancient mythology would be the basis of the creation of Arcadia.

It is striking that several [[Batavia|Batavian]] kings wore the name "Arkadius".

== Demographics ==

The population of Arcadia consists of several ethnic groups who largely see themselves as Arcadianen. Each group adheres to its own culture and traditions to a greater or lesser extent.

Of all groups, the Jingdaoes are the largest foreign group, because Batavians from the present and former Batavian areas are seen as belonging to the Batavii. In the case of others, several minorities are of foreign origin.

=== Awarii ===
The Awarii is the tribe consisting of former Calbain and Maraguans. Together they form the Awarii or Orientals. Their Celtic culture has influences from Jasonian and Matbaan cultures. The Awarii live mainly on the island of Maraguo and the eastern part of Nelaga.

=== Batavii ===
To the Batavii are considerd, all Batavians who emigrate to Arcadia and who had already arrived in the time of Maraguo Vrystaat. Characteristic is their Dutch-Germanic culture. They mainly live on the western part of Nelaga.

=== Escomanii ===
The Escomanii consist of Gasconians and [[Stormark|Stormarkians]]. They have partly come along with the Batavians, but there are also refugees who have come after the fall of the Kingdom of Batavia. The name of the Escomanii refers to the Es, with which this tribe builds their houses and their ships. The tribe lives on the northern islands and the northeastern part of Nelaga.
