The Republic of AmManies is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Homer Simpson with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 15.001 billion AmManiesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Springfield. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient AmManiesian economy, worth a remarkable 9,923 trillion Dollarydoos 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 661,502 Dollarydoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, and criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers. Crime is totally unknown. AmManies's national animal is the Spider Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

AmManies is ranked 290,293^rd in the world and 6,359^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.95 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
