The Guardian Knight-Indomitable of The Amaranthine Sound Armor Division is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by General Miya Faraday with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.004 billion semi-voluntary Wheathite conscripts are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HQ ASAD. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Wheathi economy, worth 347 trillion fleurs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,907 fleurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Illegal book-trafficking rings dominate the black market, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk, and engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Amaranthine Sound Armor Division's national animal is the walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Amaranthine Sound Armor Division is ranked 55,486^th in the world and 60^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Governments, scoring 21.45 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
