The Amberk Republiek of Kaonas is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Sigerist with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.45 billion Amberks 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bloempunt. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Amberk economy, worth a remarkable 1,234 trillion Chits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,834 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, entomologists flock to Bloempunt for its remarkable gadfly population, museums offer moralization or your money back, and midnight pizza breaks are common among the work-from-home population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaonas's national animal is the Bagder, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaonas is ranked 208,609^th in the world and 10,904^th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 670.23 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
