The Armed Republic of Arma Populi is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 278 million Arma Populis 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.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vera Auctoritas. The average income tax rate is 64.0%.

The all-consuming Arma Populian economy, worth 24.6 trillion Custos Populis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,511 Custos Populis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, pro-democracy regime change has been avoided, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arma Populi's national animal is the Duba Plains Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
