The Free Republic of Amabilis is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Maybelle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, fear of technology, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.945 billion Maybellites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maybellegrad. The average income tax rate is 82.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Amabilisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,868 trillion lebiams a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 208,867 lebiams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study, any reference to a higher being is punished with public shaming, babies living in poverty are told to take responsibility for their own fortunes, and a mushroom a day keeps the sadness away. Crime is a major problem. Amabilis's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nashrelig.

Amabilis is ranked 108,907^th in the world and 2,252^nd in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 181.2 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
