The Empire of Armonker is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Overlord Kratos with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 783 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 129 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 165,081 Antimatters, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,164,976 per year while the poor average 7,884, a ratio of 147 to 1.

Supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense. 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 12,781st in the world and 218th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,254.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
