The Kingdom of Archadien is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Nimoy with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 5.628 billion Archadiens 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.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estoril. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Archadien economy, worth a remarkable 1,291 trillion Gøtzes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 229,414 Gøtzes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 701,883 per year while the poor average 58,082, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archadien's national animal is the Great White Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Monarchism.

Archadien is ranked 71,689^th in the world and 1^st in The Archadien Empire for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 59.71 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
