The Heavily Armed Super Power of Archidamus is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Kevin Porter with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.66 billion Archidamusians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archidamus City. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archidamusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,704 trillion Goralniks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,351 Goralniks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and ex-cons are paid to remain law-abidingly dull. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archidamus's national animal is the Stink, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Archidamus is ranked 183,134^th in the world and 9^th in Bigtopia for Largest Black Market, with 651 billion Standard Monetary Units.
