The Illuminated Easter Kingdom of The Ambis is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by King Richard Isarti II with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 10.483 billion Ambisians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elios. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ambisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,056 trillion Chips a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 196,200 Chips, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 967,506 per year while the poor average 22,667, a ratio of 42.7 to 1.

Grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs, the tightness of border controls in The Ambis leave a little to be desired, bigly crowds of election officials can be spotted at music festivals, and all facts are created equal. Crime is totally unknown. The Ambis's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Illuminatism.

The Ambis is ranked 231,633rd in the world and 61st in Thaecia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 86.55 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
