The Heavily Armed Super Power of Archidamus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kevin Porter with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 17.51 billion Archidamusians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archidamus City. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archidamusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,060 trillion Goralniks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,650 Goralniks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, CEOs are forced to cut coupons during important conference calls to make ends meet, all footpaths have tollbooths, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archidamus's national animal is the Stink, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Archidamus is ranked 29,397th in the world and 1st in Bigtopia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 933.22 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
