The Maritime Empire of Almitruz is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Erik Laurier with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.178 billion Almitrixes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steelport. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Almitruzian economy, worth 479 trillion Liberos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,816 Liberos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents plead with their children to consider prostitution instead of philosophy, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Almitruz's national animal is the Snow Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Seneteeism.

Almitruz is ranked 189,276^th in the world and 59^th in Liberal Democratic Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
