The Dominion of Fort Amaranth is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 6.263 billion Fort Amaranthians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Fort Amaranthian economy, worth 52.5 trillion walls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,378 walls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fort Amaranth's national animal is the sentinel.

Fort Amaranth is ranked 113,530^th in the world and 1^st in Eternal Order for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 42.69 Effective Tax Rate.
