The State of Ambelviser is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 18.868 billion Ambelviserans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flovérie-Warschau. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ambelviseran economy, worth a remarkable 2,051 trillion Ambelvi Flower Shillings a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 108,714 Ambelvi Flower Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, and the Flovérie-Warschau Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ambelviser's national animal is the Countryballs, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Flowerism.

Ambelviser is ranked 211,757^th in the world and 7^th in Veropa for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.7 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
