The Republic of Ameliorator is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, devout population of 1.643 billion Amelioratorians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Amelioratorian economy, worth 82.1 trillion yeses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,964 yeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about, Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, and CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ameliorator's national animal is the arf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ameliorator is ranked 28,781^st in the world and 10^th in Pluralpedia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 51.81 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
