The Community of Amizadonia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 133 million Amizadonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Amizadonian economy, worth 4.66 trillion Social Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 35,040 Social Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amizadonia's national animal is the Skunk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Amizadonia is ranked 18,760^th in the world and 794^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 23.56 average smiles per day.
