The Empire of Armonker is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Overlord Kratos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, avant-garde cinema, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 799 million Armonkerians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperialism. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Armonkerian economy, worth 132 trillion Antimatters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 165,631 Antimatters, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,163,943 per year while the poor average 8,020, a ratio of 145 to 1.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Overlord Kratos wears an armoured gauntlet, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armonker's national animal is the Saber Toothed Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Armonker is ranked 274,455th in the world and 6,075th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 7.7 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
