==Politics==
===Government===
The Arcadian Altanate is a highly centralized state controlled by the 'Altan', a leader supposedly chosen by the gods to rule over the state. The Altan holds almost all power over the lands of Arcadia and wields significant political influence when it comes to the nation's actions. In order to keep the Altan in line however; the gods created the 'Mumbas' who act as checks on the Altan's power in order to make sure he does not become a tyrant. As of writing, there is no democratic component to the Arcadian government and the peasants wield little political influence besides their appeals to the Mumbas or the Altan.

By far, Arcadia's closest ally would have to be Atolia. The two nations have been conversing greatly and are now working on a large infrastructure project together to help better connect the two's capital cities.
==Culture==
===Languages===
The official language of the Altanate is Arcadian, the sole remaining member of the Yuvo-Arcadian language family. For most of its history, the Arcadian Peninsula was devoid of any permanent settlement, but was frequently visited by Kogongi fishermen, speaking the Kogogni language. However, when the Altan arrived, and founded Wahat, he brought with him an entirely foreign tongue. The Altan spoke a dialect of the extinct Yuvantiyan language, yet after being expelled from Yuvantiya, the Altan's dialect began to morph into its own language. The new language became known as Arcadian, taking its name from the peninsula the Altan now inhabited. Kogongi is still used by the Kogongi who in the Altanate, but has in recent times become overshadowed through the efforts of the Altan to make Arcadian the true lingua franca for the nation.
