The Queendom of Amurea is a mid-sized, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 99 million Amureans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.1%.
The Amurean economy, worth 5.20 trillion Rawons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,500 Rawons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amurea's national animal is the Amur Tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Amurea is ranked 173,893rd in the world and 2nd in Verold for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
