The United States of Amaurita is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Andrew J Clachmannan with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.386 billion Amauritans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markington AC. The average income tax rate is 20.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Amauritan economy, worth a remarkable 1,837 trillion Thallers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 287,663 Thallers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, Amauritans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Amauritan politicians. Crime is totally unknown. Amaurita's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Amaurita is ranked 2,684^th in the world and 2^nd in Confederacy of Allied States for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 15,025.98 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
