The Armed Republic of 3rd Artillery Regiment is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion.

The strong 3rd Artillery Regimentian economy, worth 62.9 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Basket Weaving.

Military spending is on the increase, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered 3rd Artillery Regimentian weed picker are way up, and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside.
