The Most Serene Republic of Amber Port is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Consul Percival Palanga with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.604 billion Amber Porters are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amber Port. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Amber Porter economy, worth a remarkable 5,122 trillion litas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 308,494 litas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,477,680 per year while the poor average 37,687, a ratio of 39.2 to 1.

Retail boutiques encourage citizens to honor their military veterans by purchasing flag-patterned underwear, Harry Potter books are banned, remarriage vows include hefty travel expenses, and prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Amber Port's national animal is the magpie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Amberism.

Amber Port is ranked 290,768^th in the world and 6^th in Trickster Eyrie for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.39 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
