The Queendom of Archerville is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Her Royal High Goddess with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.298 billion Archers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piscean City. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Archerian economy, worth 217 trillion bronzes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,967 bronzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, arbitration is mightier than the sword, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime is totally unknown. Archerville's national animal is the stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Archerville is ranked 39,092nd in the world and 2,263rd in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 42.45 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
