The Most Serene Republic of Amengua is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 737 million Amenguans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The Amenguan economy, worth 34.5 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,779 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Amengua's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Amengua is ranked 81,996^th in the world and 1^st in Thalassian for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,603.28 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
