The Armed Republic of ArrmaI is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 797 million ArrmaIians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ranamara. The average income tax rate is 38.0%.

The all-consuming ArrmaIian economy, worth 96.2 trillion Mahs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,662 Mahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The 3rd Airborne Beekeepers are the most feared regiment in the ArrmaIian military, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. ArrmaI's national animal is the Arram, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

ArrmaI is ranked 19,079^th in the world and 178^th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 48.54 flags saluted per person per day.
