The Kingdom of Archinia of McNernia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by PM Uasalgeal Caoirigh with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.572 billion Archinians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cathcride. The average income tax rate is 11.3%.

The frighteningly efficient McNernian economy, worth a remarkable 4,692 trillion Coroins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 228,087 Coroins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have recently been reintroduced to McNernia, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, and books are so highly regarded in McNernia that libraries are often revered as holy shrines. Crime is totally unknown. McNernia's national animal is the Stag, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Celtic Rite Church.

McNernia is ranked 142,796^th in the world and 40^th in Greater Dienstad for Most Politically Free, scoring 56.38 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
