The Ελληνιστικό Βασίλειο of Archon is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Satrap Archon of Babylon with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.623 billion Andarian Stellar Mesopotamian Warriors 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria Charax. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Andarian Stellar Mesopotamian Warrior economy, worth 130 trillion Tetradrachms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 36,057 Tetradrachms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, the bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production, and the Archon Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archon's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pantheism.

Archon is ranked 93,021^st in the world and 1^st in The Phoenix Constellation for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,003.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
