The Colossal Titan Genius of Armin Arlert is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.98 billion Armins are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Armin economy, worth 160 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,871 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Armin Arlert in an international press conference, Leader is the self-declared God of all Armin Arlert, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armin Arlert's national animal is the turtle.

Armin Arlert is ranked 222,724^th in the world and 3^rd in Paradis for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 588.71 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
