The Armed Republic of Militan is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 69 million Militanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Spirituality and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The Militanian economy, worth 3.42 trillion Marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 49,567 Marks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 319,464 per year while the poor average 3,107, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Militan's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Militan is ranked 78,436^th in the world and 4^th in Democratic Alliance for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 47,187.91 Standard Monetary Units.
