The Nature State of Ardchu is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Armus Drakonae with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 10.828 billion Ardchuans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arnok. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ardchuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,623 trillion Rais a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,981 Rais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, a rebrand a day keeps the debt collectors away, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, and teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ardchu's national animal is the Armadillo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Naturaeism.

Ardchu is ranked 321,092^nd in the world and 4^th in sus is mildly sus my guy for Rudest Citizens, with 7.28 insults per minute.
