The January Sales of Candlewhisper Archive is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Johnny Burger with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.329 billion Archivists are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Industry, Administration, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Environment and Defense receive no funds. 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 2,816 trillion Orbicularis 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 384,354 Orbicularis, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,035,357 per year while the poor average 38,456, a ratio of 52.9 to 1.

New government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, the state considers itself the 'third parent' of every child in the nation, and it turns out that money can buy you happiness. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Candlewhisper Archive's national animal is the Seven-Toed Anxious Dolphin Mutant Thing, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Candlewhisper Archive is ranked 1,054^th in the world and 7^th in Forest for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 23,085.49 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
