The Most Serene Republic of Archytas is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, triple-decker prams, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 16.049 billion Archytasians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Archytasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,552 trillion Good Deeds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 221,356 Good Deeds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 883,223 per year while the poor average 37,320, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.

Teachers are routinely tested to keep their jobs, oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime is totally unknown. Archytas's national animal is the Pegasus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Archytas is ranked 34,118th in the world and 51st in Karma for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 75.82 Workforce Participation Rate.
