The Empire of Armonker is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 741 million Armonkerians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperialism. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Armonkerian economy, worth 119 trillion Antimatters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 160,929 Antimatters, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,085,303 per year while the poor average 8,860, a ratio of 122 to 1.

Life expectancy is way down but posthuman perfectionism is way up, citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and people forget to eat because they are too busy singing Leader's praises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armonker's national animal is the Saber Toothed Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Armonker is ranked 23,121^st in the world and 909^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
