The People's Republic of Armley is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jamal El Kheir MP with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 29.58 billion Armlonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 10.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Armlonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,806 trillion Armley Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 230,113 Armley Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Muggers are complimented on their revolutionary spirit, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime is relatively low. Armley's national animal is the Kentucky Fried Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Armley is ranked 195,019^th in the world and 163^rd in United Kingdom for Most Extreme, scoring 14.4 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
