The The Federal Democratic Repub of Argenmenia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Andrei Menikov with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.443 billion Argenians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamen. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Argenmenian economy, worth 575 trillion Minfats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,473 Minfats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, workers have their fruitcake and eat it too, prime picnicking sites are being paved over in the name of progress, and drones are unable to lift the weight of their accompanying paperwork. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Argenmenia's national animal is the Лев, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Argenmenia is ranked 40,967^th in the world and 506^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 174.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
