The First of First And Only Archive is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leeeeeeader with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.963 billion Ones are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dotdotdot. The average income tax rate is 8.1%.

The frighteningly efficient First And Only Archivean economy, worth a remarkable 3,480 trillion Unoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 232,639 Unoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, gun ownership is compulsory, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. First And Only Archive's national animal is the weird frogcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hamsterfarianism.

First And Only Archive is ranked 55,241st in the world and 198th in Forest for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,966.86 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
