The Presidential Republic of Amestrris is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Rhoam Adama with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory vegetarianism, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.415 billion Amestrrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capitol. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Amestrrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,577 trillion Cenzes 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 192,127 Cenzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The legal profession considers itself above the law, toast never burns but always has a weird chemical taste, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and populations of two-headed Double-headed Phoenixes have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amestrris's national animal is the Double-headed Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Amestrris is ranked 5,579^th in the world and 16^th in The Western Isles for Smartest Citizens, with 123.25 quips per hour.
