The Empire of Almitruz is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Constantino Tama with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 4.484 billion Almitrixes 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steelport. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Almitruzian economy, worth 696 trillion Almitruksi Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,248 Almitruksi Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones, rumor has it that Prime Minister Constantino Tama has won three lotteries in a row, and teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Almitruz's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Almitruz is ranked 31,585^th in the world and 10^th in Liberal Democratic Union for Most Patriotic, with 42.08 flags saluted per person per day.
