The Empire of Amestris-Britannia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Kitsune with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 9.927 billion Amestris-Britannians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amestris. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Amestris-Britannian economy, worth 754 trillion Sekkis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,041 Sekkis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', Amestris has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, and a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amestris-Britannia's national animal is the Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom of worship.

Amestris-Britannia is ranked 267,473^rd in the world and 13,513^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.53 flags saluted per person per day.
