The Confederated Herds of Armed COWS is a massive, devout nation, ruled by The Great Cow Guru with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.095 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Social Welfare and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moo India. The average income tax rate is 69%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Employers are gradually adapting to the alien premise of paying wages to their workers, Armed COWS's leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, priests are being drafted by the church load, and mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation. Crime is a problem. Armed COWS's national animal is the human slave, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Bovine Libertas, and its currency is the hay and counterfit Dollar.

Armed COWS is ranked 34th in Grand Central and 102,760th in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring -104 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
