The Armed Republic of 12 year olds is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Bug with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 32.463 billion 12 year olds are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miri. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 12 year old economy, worth a remarkable 6,066 trillion wedgies a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,882 wedgies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, black tea is only available on the black market, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", and tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn. Crime is totally unknown. 12 year olds's national animal is the soft kitty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Anarchy.

12 year olds is ranked 598th in the world and 1st in Alberta for Most Stationary, with 5,436.70485384 days.
