The People's Republic of Amurtham is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sailor Sea with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.282 billion Amurthamians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Visham. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Amurthamian economy, worth 154 trillion pons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 67,781 pons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, and life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amurtham's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Amurtham is ranked 6,646^th in the world and 161^st in The Leftist Assembly for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 74.33 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
