The Dominion of Armagh-Down is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 23 million Armagh-Downians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The strong Armagh-Downian economy, worth 1.43 trillion Microbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 62,165 Microbucks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 372,942 per year while the poor average 4,692, a ratio of 79.5 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, art criticism in Armagh-Down is scathingly destructive, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Armagh-Down's national animal is the Slave, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Armagh-Down is ranked 292,269^th in the world and 302^nd in Aesica for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 7.65 Effective Tax Rate.
