The Kingdom of Archadien is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minster Bastian Kroos with an even hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.267 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estoril. The average income tax rate is 68.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Archadien economy, worth a remarkable 1,884 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 259,285 Gøtzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, for just a few extra Gøtzes Archadiens can get new driving records with their new cars, and breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need. 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 Muzart, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Monarchism.

Archadien is ranked 152,369^th in the world and 8,547^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 7.31 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
