The Disputed Territories of Ambiant is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 173 million Ambiantians are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Ambiantian economy, worth 3.31 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Retail, Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 19,127 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Waste collection professionals have been canned, the only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists, the phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from Ambiantian politicians, and carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ambiant's national animal is the porpoise.

Ambiant is ranked 304,650^th in the world and 7^th in Atropia for Highest Average Incomes, with 19,127.79 Standard Monetary Units.
