The Kingdom of AmaShwabada is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 151 million AmaXabas 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong AmaShwabadan economy, worth 11.8 trillion Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,211 Rand, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and the AmaShwabadan Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AmaShwabada's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

AmaShwabada is ranked 98,424^th in the world and 3,823^rd in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,429.26 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
