The Free Republic of Amabilis is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Maybelle with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.835 billion Maybellites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

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 78.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Amabilisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,791 trillion lebiams a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 202,772 lebiams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas", it's considered a valid legal defence to say "a demon made me do it", cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death, and the government is cracking down on subversive groups. Crime is a major problem. Amabilis's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Nashrelig.

Amabilis is ranked 293,322^nd in the world and 5,374^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 29.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
