The Sultanate of Amw is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 2.453 billion Amwians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Amwian economy, worth 96.0 trillion marks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,129 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Amw's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Amw is ranked 198,170^th in the world and 1^st in Procrastination for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
