The Protectorate of Nontin Archives is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Ferrit population. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.256 billion Nontin Archivesians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 18.5%.

The Nontin Archivesian economy, worth 65.2 trillion Carpis a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 51,907 Carpis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown. Nontin Archives's national animal is the Ferrit, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nontin Archives is ranked 73,812^th in the world and 3,358^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 91.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
