The Free Republic of Amabilis is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Maybelle with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.988 billion Maybellites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized 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 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amabilisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,886 trillion lebiams a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 209,898 lebiams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, the ban on cars has been repealed, and the passport doubles as a birth certificate. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Amabilis's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nashrelig.

Amabilis is ranked 269,868^th in the world and 4,688^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -51.02 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
