The Allied States of Archeit is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.694 billion Archeitians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Archeitian economy, worth 852 trillion Trins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 67,196 Trins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,535 per year while the poor average 14,375, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is moderate. Archeit's national animal is the Aelitia, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Archeit is ranked 209,335^th in the world and 167^th in ainulindale for Safest, scoring 56.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
