The The Federal Democratic Repub of Argenmenia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Andrei Menikov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.295 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 large, 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 78.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Argenmenian economy, worth 575 trillion Minfats a year, is fairly diversified and 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 133,910 Minfats, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 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 266,972nd in the world and 1,352nd in Europe for Nicest Citizens, with 0.66 average smiles per day.
