The Expansive Empire of Archen Federation is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Scolari with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.642 billion Archonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stahlgate. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,285 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 264,501 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The future is monochrome, Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Archonian Navy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archen Federation's national animal is the Archonian Timber Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the Hallowed Solar.

Archen Federation is ranked 250,877^th in the world and 865^th in Carcassonne for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
