The People's Republic of Armley is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Rachel Reeves MP with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.688 billion Armlonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Armlonian economy, worth a remarkable 5,236 trillion Armley Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 212,092 Armley Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, and there's never a spare chair in the retirement home. Crime is totally unknown. Armley's national animal is the Kentucky Fried Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Armley is ranked 2,711th in the world and 3rd in United Kingdom for Most Stationary, with 3,857.7058644 days.
