The Community of Amizadonia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 201 million Amizadonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Amizadonian economy, worth 10.4 trillion Social Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 51,714 Social Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and solid-gold toilets are Amizadonian prisons' least expensive furnishings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amizadonia's national animal is the Skunk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Amizadonia is ranked 60,124th in the world and 1,729th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 644.59 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
