The Queendom of Amurea is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10 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 Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.9%.

The Amurean economy, worth 510 billion 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 51,027 Rawons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government's suggestions box is curiously empty these days, university admissions staff are blindfolded to prevent accidental bias, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. 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 327,618^th in the world and 2^nd in Verold for Largest Black Market, with 1.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
