The Federal Republic of Armbruster is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Martina Mikulić with a fair hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.519 billion Armbrusterians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stuttgart. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Armbrusterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,250 trillion €s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,876 €s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Armbrusterian politicians, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and a third of Armbrusterians are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armbruster's national animal is the Griffin and Deer, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Armbruster is ranked 311,401^st in the world and 787^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.06 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
