The Bloodthirsty Hordes of Arkhaza is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Lomagsh Cracktusk with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.666 billion Arkhazi are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vuul-khazu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.7%.

The very strong Arkhazi economy, worth 941 trillion skulls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,708 skulls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,882 per year while the poor average 21,933, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, randomly bombing neighboring countries has become the new national sport, the government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof, and citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arkhaza's national animal is the weakling, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Drinking the Blood of the Weak.

Arkhaza is ranked 35,737^th in the world and 4^th in Atlantis for Largest Black Market, with 40.6 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
