The Republic of Argentate Dusk is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning parrot population. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.324 billion Argentate Duskians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.6%.

The very strong Argentate Duskian economy, worth 394 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 53,849 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 160,112 per year while the poor average 14,199, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Argentate Dusk in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Argentate Dusk's national religion, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, and there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Argentate Dusk's national animal is the parrot.

Argentate Dusk is ranked 94,529^th in the world and 45^th in Prison for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,158.72 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
