The Most Serene Republic of Amalteia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 553 million Amalteians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caproeiros. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Amalteian economy, worth 54.0 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 97,733 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, and military advisors frequently remind San Vitenzan farmers that they have to pull the pin on a grenade before throwing it. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amalteia's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Amalteia is ranked 11,016th in the world and 111th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 30.78 average smiles per day.
