The Most Serene Republic of Ambis of Refuge is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 789 million Ambis of Refugeans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 31.2%.

The strong Ambis of Refugean economy, worth 30.4 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 38,468 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ambis of Refuge's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ambis of Refuge is ranked 251,520^th in the world and 368^th in Refugia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 220.66 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
