The Hungry Jungle of Soldiersend Archive is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Murderer Ra the Noisy Lion with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, strictly enforced bedtime, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.69 billion Lions are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Spirituality and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of JINGLY JANGLY GRAVEYARD. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Leonine economy, worth a remarkable 5,261 trillion Zebby Bones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 315,237 Zebby Bones, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,840,261 per year while the poor average 25,407, a ratio of 72.4 to 1.

The government terminates employment with extreme prejudice, the legal profession considers itself above the law, smiling in public is seen as criminally suspicious behaviour, and violent criminals are doomed to be hunted by a psychotic billionaire. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Soldiersend Archive's national animal is the Dead Topsy, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is HUNGER.

Soldiersend Archive is ranked 1,017th in the world and 6th in Forest for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 14,669.4 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
