The Invincible People's Federation of GMC Military Arms is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 19.926 billion are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 78%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, military spending is on the increase, military spending recently hit a new high, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GMC Military Arms's national animal is the Grand Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Pound.

GMC Military Arms is ranked 5th in Space Sector RPRA and 5,741st in the world for Most Influential, scoring 54 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
