The Republic of Armerropiesomitzerox is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.177 billion Armerropiesomitzeroxians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Armerropiesomitzeroxian economy, worth 757 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 122,639 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Troops are either deafened by gunfire or a hysterical voice screaming the Party manifesto, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, and foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armerropiesomitzerox's national animal is the swan.
