The Federal Republic of Armbruster is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Martina Mikulić with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.129 billion Armbrusterians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arminia. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Armbrusterian economy, worth 694 trillion €s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,448 €s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, Armbrusterians seem to be catching more chills, and weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements. 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 Kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Armbruster is ranked 6,050^th in the world and 116^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 128.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
