The Republic of AmManies is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Homer Simpson with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 15.058 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 9,928 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 659,334 Dollarydoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, and sales of trenchcoats are on the rise. 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 282,465^th in the world and 6,214^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 24.34 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
