The Borderlands of Lower-Amber is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 3.116 billion Lower-Amberians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Lower-Amberian economy, worth 72.5 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,256 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little 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. Lower-Amber's national animal is the tiger.

Lower-Amber is ranked 113,354^th in the world and 1^st in Regentis for Largest Black Market, with 2.04 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
