The Federation of Amarania is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6 million Amaranials are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Amaranian economy, worth 161 billion euks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 26,937 euks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, and consuming ecstasy is a common rite of passage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amarania's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Amarania is ranked 266,850^th in the world and 2^nd in Kamaranu for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,945.03 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
