The Republic of Amabilis is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Pavel Rutkovsky with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.094 billion Amabilisians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Tondo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Amabilisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,027 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 285,766 Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 944,866 per year while the poor average 64,609, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

The richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, Pavel Rutkovsky sports gold-plated grillz to promote the government's hard money policy, Amabilisians believe manners maketh the leader, and in this vegetarian nation the delicious smell of roasted meat is oddly commonplace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 1,610^th in the world and 17^th in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 5,792 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
