The Republic of AmManies is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Homer Simpson with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.977 billion AmManiesians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Springfield. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient AmManiesian economy, worth a remarkable 9,900 trillion Dollarydoos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 661,036 Dollarydoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The AmManiesian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, AmManies has been greatly criticised for its isolationist policies, and birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers. Crime is totally unknown. AmManies's national animal is the Spider Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

AmManies is ranked 293,237^th in the world and 6,474^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -1870.82 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
