The largest buildings in the world, the PRA Arcologies are massive structures devoted to housing PRA citizens and producing various products. The massive amount of factories produce all the goods consumed by the arco excepting food and water. In fact, goods produced at the Arcos also account for nearly 30% of PRA's outside contracts.

OOC: Haven't decided a cost yet, expect low-to-mid trillions. Comments and Criticism welcome, this is WIP. More details on interior defenses later.
