The Crystal Empire of Ameythstia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Qrstyifer with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.34 billion Ameythstians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sharderia. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ameythstian economy, worth 288 trillion Crystals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,140 Crystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, long-wed spouses often regret proposals they made when they were twenty, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, and city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ameythstia's national animal is the Salmon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Crystalisim.

Ameythstia is ranked 219,624^th in the world and 256^th in Aesica for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -3.3 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
