The Main Four Islands of Arcadia

Center Island
Capital: Arcadia City​

Center Island is where everyones business revolves around, the commercial, administrative, tourist, and cultural hub of Arcadia. If you're ever in Arcadia, most likely you're gonna wanna be in Center Island. The whole island is just one big clob of urban infrastructure. This is where all the famous entrepreneurs, athletes, innovators, politicians, and celebrities are bred from. You'll find a lot going on in this new center of commodity fetishization in the South Pacific. The Outsiders have a name for it, the Rainbow Leviathan. With its multi-colored skyline and its grasp over the Pacific thanks to its economic significance, the whole island is just one big trap to exploit you whether you'd be a tourist or immigrant, this island will find some way to rob you for all your worth whether it be your wealth or your dignity, Center Island will find something to take from you. You can make sure of that when you go into the multiple impoverished slums and shanty towns surrounding Arcadia City proper.

Sure you'll find some nice cities find leave the cities and you see where a lot of the disenfranchised end up. People who weren't fed the spoon of prosperity Arcadia promised them or just lost what they had to those who ran to the slums and shanty towns that litter Center Island. But at least the law makes sure these areas are not infested with airborne diseases. Sanitation does a fantastic job making sure the city isn't a dump. Seriously the plumbing, utilities, and air are fantastic. If you do happen to be one of Center Island's poorest however, make sure you don't get shot or dangerously sick. You'd be selling your kids before you could afford treatment for those kind of mishaps.

Prosperity Island
Capital: Newton​

Don't expect to find much in Prosperity, it's primarily a residential and commercial island. This is where a lot of retirees and the middle to upper class tend to live. It has a very sustainable tourist and service based economy going on. Some people who work in Center Island move here to get away from the noise and the degenerates of the urban island. You'll find a lot of the island has very gorgeous resorts and some of the finest cuisine you'll ever have. Prosperity consider themselves more refined in culture compared to the rats of Center, for they are the true gem of Arcadia. This is a great place to settle if you want to have a family. The cities are the hub of the finest well paying jobs with some popular amenities. With some of the finest lofts in Newton, you can lay eyes on the luscious tropical landscape of Prosperity, unlike the abstract urban jungles of Center Island. Raise your children here with the Republic's finest education, with some of the finest recreational centers for whenever you have to put in extra hours at the office. And if you want to live here then you wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

Trust them to satisfy your needs whatever they may be. Just don't bring up the crime families that have a grip over the island's economy and you'll be living in paradise for you'll be caught as a mule for some drug trafficking. Recently they've been quiet with all the raids going down, but that's what the police said during the last crackdown two years ago.​

North Island
Capital: Caldon​

As the name suggests, North Island is the northernmost island of Arcadia and isn't known for much. A lot of the space has been dedicated to industrial infrastructure. This is where all the transit vehicles, automobiles, home appliances, aerospace tech, and weapons are produced. This is the heart of Arcadia, without the industry of North Island then the neon lights that Center Island like to brag about wouldn't even be in existence. The only reason they don't get recognition is because of all the poor people and rampant organized crime is. It's worse than it is in Prosperity, with many people on the island wanting a life free of fruitless work and little in return for breaking their backs in North Island's manufacturing plants, there will be nights where you will hear nothing but gunshots and police sirens in the night.

You will find some nice street food here at least. The Night Markets here are immaculate.

Tarina Island
Capital: Port Nurusa​

You won't find much on Tarina Island except the capital city of Nurusa. Just another city in the shadow of Arcadia City. But Tarina Island is strictly Outsider territory. Massive urban and industrial aesthetics won't be found here, just a few towns and campsites with clans and tribes of Arcadians who fend for themselves. They make very important contributions to Arcadia's economy despite their presumed isolation. Some of the greatest medical and scientific research is performed by outsiders, the fishing and agricultural markets of Arcadia are strictly Outsider ventures that contribute to the economy. It is because of the Outsider's abilities to properly utilize their abilities which has allowed them to maintain their way of life since the Reconstruction. They're very open to Insiders, as long as you aren't a corporate shill or a politician.

Also if you're just one looking for adventure than Tarina is perfect for you. It's stunning scenery and undisturbed natural features are something to behold that people would be stunned by. Just be careful when you get lost on the island. Pirates like to hang out here as well and have had some run ins with the Outsiders by disrupting their fishing operations and harassing foreign shipping if they happen to come across this island. Pirating isn't as big as organized crime which makes them harder to pinpoint and neutralize. But they're out there somewhere.​
