The Acidalia Planitia of Amicities is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Famagadal Asentis with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, prohibition of alcohol, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 10.572 billion Amicitiesians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Amicitiesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,180 trillion franiqs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,634 franiqs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, the digital money revolution has cashed out, many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, and cheap goods stamped "Made In Dàguó" are increasingly rare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amicities's national animal is the Golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is freedom of faith.

Amicities is ranked 73,775^th in the world and 642^nd in Europe for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 1.1 Bank.
