Welcome to Arcacia
Home to 1.3 million people, Arcacia occupies a small chain of islands just of the East coast of Australia. In 200 years, this tiny republic has become a tourist hotspot, renowned the world over. In this pavillion, you'll see why. See our cities. Hear why we are a cultural melting pot. Taste our food and wine. Smell our native flora. Feel at home.

Providence
PROVIDENCE
Providence is Arcacia's capital and is frequently referred to as the Jewel in Arcacia's Crown. Home to the Arcacian Government, along with 155,000 Arcacians, it is a pleasant city with a thriving night life and brilliant shopping. Welcome to Providence - City of Light and Colour.
The city centre, with the old Senate building surrounded by Providence's iconic Parisian style old-town.
Downtown, home to gleaming skyscrapers, Little Taipei and the Embassy Building.
The Waterfront, where you can shop till you drop at the Coco Centre, dine on the freshest seafood, take a ride on a submarine or see a 3D movie on the giant IMAX screen.
Located in the centre of old-town, the gold plated sculpture "Gold Fire" is a symbol of Arcacia's bicentennary which we celebrate this year.
Also in the centre of old-town, "Democritas" is a constant reminder of Arcacia's dedication to democracy, freedom and human rights.
Overlooking Crescent Bay, "The Guardian" stands tall and proud as an enduring symbol of Arcacia's sovereignty.

Yorke Bay
YORKE BAY
Yorke Bay, often called "The Heart of Arcacia" started life as the centre of Arcacian agriculture. The city of Yorke, the district's capital, is home to just under 200,000 people and has been named Arcacia's most livable city 4 years running. Yorke is also home to the Arcacian Space Agency and Yorke Bay sees more tourists per capita than any other district.
Civic Square in Yorke. The sculpture, called "Pythagoras" symbolises science and technology.
In the North of the city, the Tramway Museum offers visitors the chance to ride on a completely restored "Yellow Car" - the first tram to serve Yorke's extensive ligt rail network.
Get wet year round at WaterWorks. A fully enclosed waterpark for the whole family.
Visit the Arcacian Space Agency headquarters and museum. Take a trip into space at the Yorke Planetarium. Have a look through the telescope at Arcacia's first observatory. Learn about the father of astronomy at the Galileo museum. See what life on Mars might be like at the Mars Experience.
In the hills above Yorke, the fully operational Yorke Observatory has several telescopes, a museum, and two radio telescopes. The larger of the two, simply called "The Dish" is second in size only to Arecebo in Puerto Rico.
Feel like a relaxing 18 holes? Why not spend the afternoon at the Bicentennial Club - Arcacia's premier golf resort.
Up for something a little less relaxing? How about the Southern Hemisphere's biggest theme park - Wonderland in Cape Cooley. Whilst you're there, why not head over to the Arcacian Space Agency's launch facility.

Redding
REDDING
It's called "The Gateway to Arcacia" and is home to over a third of the population. Redding is a glittering example of modern Arcacia. If you're driving into Arcacia from Australia, Redding City will be your first impression.
See the world from a whole new perspective from the top of Skytower. Dine at one of the country's most exclusive restaurants, or put your feet up with a cocktail at the 360 Bar.
A sign of the times - Arcacia's oldest church is now a trendy bookstore and coffee house.
Visit the dolphins, orcas, penguins and even a polar bear at SeaWorld.
Redding Convention Centre, Redding Stadium and the concert grounds known as "The Green" see many international events and performances.

Northern Islands
NORTHERN ISLANDS
The pace of life is slower here - you're on Island Time. What's the rush? Despite being a city of over 65,000, Brookyn is a quiet, slow-paced town. But, if that's still too much for you, head out to the outer islands and spend a relaxing few days listening only to the sound of waves upon the shore.

Saint Vincent
SAINT VINCENT
Saint Vincent is Arcacia's most remote location. The territory is located roughly half way between Tasmania and Antarctica. About 80,000 permanent residents live on Saint Vincent, with a little over half in the territories capital. However, the island is a favourite destination fro Arcacians, especially in the hot summer months. When it's pushing 40°C in Providence, it's still only 4°C in Saint Vincent. The snow is still falling and the skiing is always good.
The township of Saint Vincent, the territory's capital, is where you'll find top restaurants and boutique stores.
Civic Square in Saint Vincent. The sculpture represents snow-capped mountains.
The gentle slopes of Westfall provide a family friendly skiing destination
Up for a bigger challenge? The slopes of Mount Slater are a world-class skiing venue

Aboriginal Arcacia
ABORIGINAL ARCACIA
Going back more than 40,000 years, Arcacia's aboriginal tradition is deeply rooted in the land. Unlike their counterparts across the border in Australia, Arcacia's aboriginal population was always deeply repected. To this day, they are seen as an invaluable part of Arcacia's heritage, and it's future.

SouthAir, based in Saint Vincent, is Arcacia's second largest airline. Flying to 8 destinations, including Wilkins in Antarctica, SouthAir has become an invaluable part of life in Saint Vincent as it links the remote island to the rest of the world and has enabled the tourism industry to take off.

Food & Wine
FOOD & WINE
Arcacia is fortunately placed to take advantage of the sea's bounty. Seafood, along with fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese and wine are staples of the Arcacian diet.
Oysters are grown in the North Straight between Cliffton and Lytehope.
Seafood dishes are popular at Arcacian retaurants.
Trifle is a popular desert in Arcacia. A mix of sponge cake, flavoured jellies, fresh cream and custard, it is ridiculously tasty.
Arcacia has a long tradition of cheese making and this has resulted in local variations on global classics.
Arcacia doesn't have many wineries, but those that do exist produce a wide variety of world-class vintages.
Arcacians are also partial to cocktails with very naughty names. Anyone fancy a Quick F**k with a Greased up Dwarf? Or a screaming orgasm with a fluffy duck? or a c**k-s**king cowboy with a fuzzy navel?
Mmmmm.... chocolate. Always a favourite, hot chocolate in Arcacia is typically real chocolate, usually a blend of milk and dark, melted into hot cream.

Welcome to Lycanthia
The small French speaking Lycanth Republic, or Lycanthia, is a protectorate of Arcacia. Home to around 390,000 people, it is an interesting blend of French and Pacific influences. Called "The Marseille of the Pacific" it is not hard to see why Lycanthia is quickly gaining a reputation as a unique destination.

Getting around Lycanthia is very easy. Rail de Lycanth operates Lycanthia's railway, which spans the entire island, making getting from one city to another a breeze.

Air Lycanth is Lycanthia's only airline and is therefore it's national airline and flag carrier by default. From it's base at Aéroport Lycanth, Lycanthia's only airport, it flies to 12 destinations across the South Pacific.

Food & Wine
FOOD & WINE
Lycanthia is renowned for its fusion of French, Australian and Pacific styles. This fusion creates a unique and interesting cuisine. Lycanthia also has a number of wineries and a rich tradition of cheese making, which was inherited from Lycanthia's French heritage.
Ratatouille, a traditioanal French starter, made with fresh Lycanthian produce and a distinct Lycanthian flavour.
Lamb cutlets are a Lycanthian favourite. Here cooked in a traditional French style, served in a sauce made from local wine.
The classic Crème Brûlée is a favourite desert. This one is made from locally produce vanilla beans.
For those without a raging sweet tooth, perhaps a mélange of seasonal berries topped with fresh, local cream is in order.
The perfect way to round off a meal, local fromage reflects the deep-rooted French heritage of Lycanthia and is comparible in quality to anything produced in France.
With several wineries and a wine making tradition passed down from French settlers, it is little wonder that Lycanthia produces several varieties of fine wine, able to hold their own against traditional markets.
