The Federation of Amgus is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Amogus Astronaut with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.22 billion Crewmates 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Skeld. The average income tax rate is 14.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Not Sus economy, worth 544 trillion Vbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,495 Vbucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Police are trained in using their steel-capped boots as a tool of law enforcement, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, state-sanctioned torture is okay so long as there's no icky blood, and spontaneous nocturnal decapitation is considered 'death by natural causes' for enemies of Amgus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amgus's national animal is the Riolu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Amogus.

Amgus is ranked 68,654^th in the world and 4^th in Aura for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 139.89 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
