The Empire of Armonker is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Overlord Kratos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 766 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 17.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Armonkerian economy, worth 123 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 extensive. Average income is an impressive 161,755 Antimatters, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,115,610 per year while the poor average 8,315, a ratio of 134 to 1.

Families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, political loyalty is enforced by way of chemical addiction, citizens must pay to enjoy Armonker's pristine beaches, and fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget. 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 270,345th in the world and 5,591st in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -243.44 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
