The Pirate's Republic of Archalit is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Sagaristio Bruscius with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.435 billion Arkali enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charkara. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Archalitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,570 trillion NS Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,788 NS Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A breakdown in Westphalian sovereignty has left political scientists dazed and confused, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, recognizing the Archalitian flag qualifies you for citizenship, and the police ransack more houses than criminals do. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Archalit's national animal is the BH Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Piratism.

Archalit is ranked 308,311^th in the world and 504^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
