The Democratic Republic of Amoskeag is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 497 million Amoskeagians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Bartolomé. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Amoskeagian economy, worth 33.9 trillion moons a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,267 moons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amoskeag's national animal is the moon bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Amoskeag is ranked 22,846^th in the world and 340^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 76.17 Effective Tax Rate.
