The Haven of Amestny is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vervis the III with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed population of 1.12 billion Amestnyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yornu-Rynoi City. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Amestnyian economy, worth 112 trillion Rynois a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,226 Rynois, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children seem to be getting better at lying these days, only lightning has a chance of striking Vervis the III twice, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, and the big red machine has ground to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Amestny's national animal is the Golden Lion of Yornu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Shadow of Yornu.

Amestny is ranked 44,327^th in the world and 264^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,852.09 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
