The Acidalia Planitia of Amicities is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Famagadal Asentis with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 11.133 billion Amicitiesians 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 Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Amicitiesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,268 trillion franiqs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,911 franiqs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, army rations are served on silver platters, and every citizen sounds like a television news anchor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amicities's national animal is the Golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is freedom of faith.

Amicities is ranked 14,937^th in the world and 209^th in Europe for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 19.26 Bank.
