The Federation of Sovereign Technocratic Amidei is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 633 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fratcastle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Pizza Delivery.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the Gamma is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction, only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, and the new hit series "Sovereign Technocratic Amidei's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Sovereign Technocratic Amidei's national animal is the Gamma, and its currency is the frat.

Sovereign Technocratic Amidei is ranked 255th in Region Inc and 39,273rd in the world for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
