The Armenian Union

Population298 million

The Democratic Republic of The Armenian Union is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 298 million Armenian Unionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Armenian Unionian economy, worth 13.8 trillion Drams a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,401 Drams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of The Armenian Union City, and the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Armenian Union's national animal is the Armenian Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Armenian Union is ranked 68,661st in the world and 135th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 111.19 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
