The Empire of Armyo is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 601 million Armyoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crownhaven. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Armyoan economy, worth 64.3 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,060 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, and vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Armyoan mussels the biggest in Europeia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armyo's national animal is the blue whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Armyo is ranked 32,055^th in the world and 218^th in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
