The Cōnsistōria of Amicities is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Philippa Augustus Iaponius with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 21.904 billion Amicitiesians 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 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 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amicitiesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,326 trillion franiqs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,209 franiqs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Amicitiesian citizenship, healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, an increasing number of animal species are named 'Bob', and helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens. 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 297,792^nd in the world and 789^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11.97 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
