The Cōnsistōria of Amicities is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Philippa Augustus Iaponius with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 22.261 billion Amicitiesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Singidunum. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amicitiesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,438 trillion franiqs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,552 franiqs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, child support loans with high interest rates are available in Amicitiesian banks, a good Amicitiesian is hard to find, and prices for nearly everything reach all-time highs as business tax breaks are discontinued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amicities's national animal is the Golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is freedom of faith.

Amicities is ranked 250,351^st in the world and 1,165^th in Europe for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,731.54 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
