The Republic of Imperial Amber is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 418 million Imperial Amberians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Imperial Amberian economy, worth 19.3 trillion Somethings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 46,205 Somethings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military has declared that 'a woman's place is in the mess hall', the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and they who do not work shall not eat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Amber's national animal is the Dino.

Imperial Amber is ranked 76,300^th in the world and 9^th in The Mood for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 45.83 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
