The Democratic Republic of Armager is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 104 million Armagerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Armagerian economy, worth 4.05 trillion francs 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 black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. 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 38,914 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time. 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 249,229^th in the world and 3,628^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
