The Free Republic of Amabilis is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Maybelle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.922 billion Maybellites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maybellegrad. The average income tax rate is 83.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Amabilisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,867 trillion lebiams a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 209,304 lebiams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Maybelle has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, birth rates have hit an all-time low, the economy is undergoing a traumatic transition to capitalism, and nobody likes bad boys any more. Crime is a serious problem. Amabilis's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Nashrelig.

Amabilis is ranked 290,586th in the world and 5,116th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 3.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
