The Republic of Amperlands is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 629 million Amperlandsians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 55.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Amperlandsian economy, worth 43.4 trillion dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. 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 69,030 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amperlands's national animal is the giraffe.

Amperlands is ranked 80,627^th in the world and 13^th in Amperregion for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 55.37 Effective Tax Rate.
