The Armed Republic of Armored is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General in Arms with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 24.047 billion Armoreds are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Keep. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Armored economy, worth 680 trillion Arms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 28,293 Arms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, Armored has designated The Keep as its capital city, General in Arms has just been declared ruler of Armored in an international press conference, and public nudity is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armored's national animal is the warhorse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Arms.

Armored is ranked 104,812th in the world and 2nd in Scatter Territories for Most Stationary, with 406.62388559388 days.
