The Syndicated Supercluster of Arma Empitester is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Eumelia Philomel with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.998 billion Empitesters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brancaster. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Empitesterian economy, worth a remarkable 7,947 trillion Boondollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 378,487 Boondollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eumelia Philomel seems to wear red a lot these days, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime is totally unknown. Arma Empitester's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Arma Empitester is ranked 1,417^th in the world and 1^st in The United Binturong Islands for Highest Average Incomes, with 378,487.14 Standard Monetary Units.
