The Revolutionary Workers' Union of Archasia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Trade Unions' Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.18 billion Archasians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rotating Capital. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archasian economy, worth 528 trillion Currens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 126,340 Currens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There are increasing complaints that male AI assistants have aggressive voices, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, and the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archasia's national animal is the Archasian Flightless Coot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Archasian Polytheism.

Archasia is ranked 183,384^th in the world and 448^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 895.66 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
