The Steel Legion of Archron Empire is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kaiser Roma Von Braun with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.548 billion Archians 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 New Vaskia. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archian economy, worth 818 trillion Arcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,526 Arcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, a flood of mandatory divorces burden the courts, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, and battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archron Empire's national animal is the Dawn Breaker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Archron Empire is ranked 35,226^th in the world and 69^th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 4.7 Bank.
