The Republic of AmperNuke is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, disturbing lack of elderly people, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 661 million AmperNukeans 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong AmperNukean economy, worth 53.1 trillion francs 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, 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 80,276 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the sun now sets on the AmperNukean Empire, the official AmperNukean Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AmperNuke's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

AmperNuke is ranked 310,652^nd in the world and 32^nd in Amperregion for Highest Drug Use, scoring 11.49 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
