The Federal Dictatorial Republic of Archaeos is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dictator Claudianus with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.734 billion Archaeosias 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Primus Aquila. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archaeosia economy, worth 223 trillion Imperial Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 128,915 Imperial Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Governments opposing Archaeos are beset by rebels, commercial jingles are the nation's greatest export, new urban roads are threatening city parks, and citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archaeos's national animal is the Magna Aquilae, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Archaeos is ranked 42,629^th in the world and 1^st in The Grande Imperium for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,265.71 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
