The Roaming Bands of The Unknown Army is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Roxanne Wolf with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.473 billion mercenaries 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 large government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoofington. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a mercenary economy, worth a remarkable 2,666 trillion bottle caps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 124,156 bottle caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Art criticism in The Unknown Army is scathingly destructive, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, vacationing mercenaries expect to be treated as royalty, and surf's up and hypothermia's down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Unknown Army's national animal is the manticore, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Unknown Army is ranked 89,179^th in the world and 6^th in The Empire of Friendship for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
