The Confederall Republic of North Armatas is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Karl Kilian with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 13.999 billion North Armatasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wehrburg. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse North Armatasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,471 trillion Neue Armatasische Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,088 Neue Armatasische Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Armatas's national animal is the Wahlberg's eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
North Armatas is ranked 40,995th in the world and 1,415th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
