The Republic of Amabilis is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Pavel Rutkovsky with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.077 billion Amabilisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Tondo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Amabilisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,008 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 284,771 Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 902,902 per year while the poor average 68,477, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, on-duty Air Amabilis flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, the transition from trojan horses to regular old horses is on track, and lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 318,504^th in the world and 3,984^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.35 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
