The Comedy Student Council of Sus Armstrong is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edwin Lance Shirogane with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.424 billion Armstrongians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tranquillitatis. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Armstrongian economy, worth 226 trillion crescents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 159,225 crescents, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Armstrongians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sus Armstrong's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Imposter Syndrome.

Sus Armstrong is ranked 2,595^th in the world and 4^th in Council of Asia for Safest, scoring 139.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
