The Cute lil empire of Faerie-princess-ami is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Amy with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 8.105 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation’s borders, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Faerie-princess-ami after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faerie-princess-ami's national animal is the No'ping'ka, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is RAWR, and its currency is the N'had.

Faerie-princess-ami is ranked 48th in England and 93,749th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
