The Presidential Republic of Amestrris is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Rhoam Adama with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, national health service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.251 billion Amestrrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capitol. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Amestrrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,584 trillion Cenzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 191,986 Cenzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, the default state for Amestrris is default, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, and wheelchair users complain it is nearly impossible for them to cross the road in The Capitol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amestrris's national animal is the quetzalcoatl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Amestrris is ranked 265,540^th in the world and 171^st in The Western Isles for Nicest Citizens, with 0.69 average smiles per day.
