The Shepherd Amongst the Sheeple of Arch Bishop is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Saint Patrick with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 14.832 billion Holy Warriors are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Arch Bishopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,425 trillion Gold Bars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,134 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, god-fearing citizens can be seen in prayer circles around the Big Max impact crater, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arch Bishop's national animal is the Frolicking Leprechaun, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arch Bishop is ranked 67,977th in the world and 1st in Capri for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
