The Federal Republic of Armbruster is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Martina Mikulić with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.237 billion Armbrusterians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stuttgart. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Armbrusterian economy, worth 794 trillion €s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,497 €s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Armbrusterian politicians, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Armbruster's national animal is the Griffin and Deer, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Armbruster is ranked 9,669th in the world and 249th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,690.9 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
