The Armed Republic of Argename is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dove population. The democratic population of 219 million Argenameans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Argenamean economy, worth 8.58 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,184 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime is well under control. Argename's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Argename is ranked 237,107^th in the world and 340^th in Starlight for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.15 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
