The Free Republic of Amabilis is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Maybelle with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, hatred of cheese, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.732 billion Maybellites 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maybellegrad. The average income tax rate is 73.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Amabilisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,880 trillion lebiams a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 215,356 lebiams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Pedants defending Maybelle observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, most citizens in Amabilis are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, religious classes are compulsory for all school students, and barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Maybellegrad Natural History Museum. Crime is pervasive. Amabilis's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Nashrelig.

Amabilis is ranked 24,266th in the world and 378th in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,477.48195718872 days.
