Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Socialist States of Amyruka is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 918 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, artists are pillars of society, and companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave. Crime is totally unknown. Amyruka's national animal is the tocororo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Amyruka is ranked 83rd in International Democratic Union and 98,587th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
