The Republic of Amaspar is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 56 million Amasparians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Amasparian economy, worth 1.38 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 24,586 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political shows are fit for purpose, aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice, Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the Amasparian military unleashed its biological weapons, and on hunt days the unpleasant peasant runs in lieu of the pheasant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amaspar's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Amaspar is ranked 263,077^th in the world and 388^th in Refugia for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring -13.75 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
