The Kingdom of Archsan is a massive, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.85 billion Archsanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kazaerkenski. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Archsanian economy, worth 192 trillion Archrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 104,287 Archrons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archsan's national animal is the Crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Archsan is ranked 42,207^th in the world and 2,634^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
