The Democratic Republic of Armarilla is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yeşim Salma Lina Dagoban with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.306 billion Armarillans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vivillas al Swanea. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Armarillan economy, worth 603 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 140,048 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Armarilla's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Moralistic Humanism.
