The Empire of Armonker

“We Will Endure”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Armonker is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Overlord Kratos with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avant-garde cinema, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 864 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, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperialism. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Armonkerian economy, worth 146 trillion Antimatters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 169,506 Antimatters, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders who don't applaud Overlord Kratos's speeches are regarded as enemies of Armonker, the government is constantly playing a game of four-dimensional economic chess with health insurance firms, people talk about things being better when men were men, and the military has gone fission for more funding. 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 15,407^th in the world and 651^st in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 324.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
