The Slovene Republic of Amsterwald is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Bozhidar Jakac with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 18.618 billion Slovenes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ljubljana. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Slovene economy, worth a remarkable 4,689 trillion Slovenian tolars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 251,863 Slovenian tolars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amsterwald's national animal is the black panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Amsterwald is ranked 78,601^st in the world and 92^nd in Commonwealth of Liberty for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,858.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
