The Republic of Amorise is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Charles Mattyeux with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 2.755 billion Amoriseans 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 Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Éclaris. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Amorisean economy, worth 255 trillion Fleur d’Ors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,826 Fleur d’Ors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Charles Mattyeux's office, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and people with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amorise's national animal is the Lumineux Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is La Voie de l'Éclat.

Amorise is ranked 72,685^th in the world and 3,313^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Incomes, with 92,826.01 Standard Monetary Units.
