The Armed Republic of Archonina is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Szok Olin with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 16.731 billion Archonians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Govoldeim. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archoninan economy, worth a remarkable 3,694 trillion Talons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 220,828 Talons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, and vaccinations are mandatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Archonina's national animal is the Mountain Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Evangelicalism.

Archonina is ranked 3,828^th in the world and 66^th in the West Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 161,013.41 Standard Monetary Units.
