The Empire of The Gunmen is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Richard Gunn with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.673 billion Gunmenites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colt. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gunmenite economy, worth 801 trillion Gunnars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,445 Gunnars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Gunmenites, Brasilistan's industrial base is being quickly decimated, female brains are believed to heat up dangerously when 'overclocked', and atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Gunmen's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Gunmen is ranked 255,244^th in the world and 6,130^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.18 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
