The Democratic Republic of Archauss is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Bernhard Abel with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 3.018 billion Archaussians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Besicolitz city. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archaussian economy, worth 344 trillion Oods a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,050 Oods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A government program is underway to revitalize Archauss's beaches, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Besicolitz city, the best rebates happen when the company no longer exists, and Bernhard Abel's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archauss's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Archauss is ranked 19,584^th in the world and 246^th in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,200.46 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
