The Kingdom of Archadien is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Velar and Queen Lucille with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.094 billion Archadiens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estoril. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Archadien economy, worth a remarkable 1,030 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 202,350 Gøtzes, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

The comic book series 'King Velar and Queen Lucille and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, and the media have begun calling the government treasury "King Velar and Queen Lucille's stash". 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 179,589^th in the world and 10,023^rd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 6.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
