The Kingdom of Amderlask is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Njall Kallisson with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 8.829 billion Amderlaskians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randverstad. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amderlaskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,675 trillion Crowns 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 189,808 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amderlask's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheran Church of Amderlask.

Amderlask is ranked 9,550^th in the world and 452^nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 417.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
