The Democratic Republic of Armager is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 432 million Armagerians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Armageria. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Armagerian economy, worth 31.7 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 73,488 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise, Leader's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armager's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Armager is ranked 130,136^th in the world and 1,362^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,400.89 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
