The Island Kingdom of Amaabj is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King pulāi I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.078 billion Amaans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ˈkaekau. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Amaan economy, worth a remarkable 3,351 trillion Wōs 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 an amazing 302,491 Wōs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

National magistrates in ˈkaekau are overwhelmed with cases of petty larceny and attempted witchcraft, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amaabj's national animal is the Flying Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Amaaism.

Amaabj is ranked 2,012th in the world and 3rd in Union of Allied States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 144.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
