The Intensive Care Unit of Candlewhisper Archive is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dustin B Twinnears with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 20.029 billion Archivists enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monaster. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Archivian economy, worth a remarkable 9,409 trillion slightly manky dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 469,782 slightly manky dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, and commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Candlewhisper Archive's national animal is the Six-Toed Ugly Dolphin-Octopus Thing, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is New Clear Scienceology.

Candlewhisper Archive is ranked 310,382nd in the world and 308th in Forest for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 0.39 missed references per hour.
