The Island Kingdom of Amaabj is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King pulāi I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory vegetarianism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.177 billion Amaans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ˈkaekau. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Amaan economy, worth a remarkable 3,402 trillion Wōs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 amazing 304,444 Wōs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, genetic screening weeds out citizens whose legs don't bend easily at the knee, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amaabj's national animal is the Flying Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Amaaism.
Amaabj is ranked 290,282nd in the world and 37th in Union of Allied States for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.01 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
