The United Syndicalist Provinces of Archasia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Augustin Jay with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.056 billion Archasians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortuna. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Archasian economy, worth 76.2 trillion Archasian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 72,178 Archasian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archasia's national animal is the Red-Black Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Atheism.
Archasia is ranked 62,839th in the world and 8th in Nations of Salamandia for Most Extreme, scoring 28.77 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
