The Empire of Armonker is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 709 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, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperialism. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Armonkerian economy, worth 111 trillion Antimatters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 157,616 Antimatters, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 994,768 per year while the poor average 10,455, a ratio of 95.1 to 1.

Half of Armonker just lost MyFace after space debris collided with a major communications satellite, drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. 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 90,282^nd in the world and 2,500^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
