Location: The Black Market

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Archi Nation is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 2.122 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, and citizens select which government department gets their income tax KaCh$ngs each year. Crime is totally unknown. Archi Nation's national animal is the Honorable Wombat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the KaCh$ng.

Archi Nation is ranked 4th in The Black Market and 9,174th in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring 142 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
