The Cōnsistōria of Amicities is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Philippa Augustus Iaponius with an even hand, and remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 22.202 billion Amicitiesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Singidunum. The average income tax rate is 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amicitiesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,417 trillion franiqs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,898 franiqs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and nearby bird nests prompt wind turbine shutdowns. 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 7,592^nd in the world and 187^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 92.27 on the Human Development Index.
