The Free Land of Amerall is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 263 million Amerallians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Amerillian economy, worth 16.5 trillion Baskoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 62,796 Baskoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Trout Farming facilities are being turned into Red-Tailed Hawk habitats, the nation's youth is held blameless for all crimes, relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, and the arms industry is strictly regulated. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Amerall's national animal is the Red-Tailed Hawk.

Amerall is ranked 20,493^rd in the world and 142^nd in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,419.32 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
