The Federal Republic of Amicities is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Famagadal Asentis with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 8.62 billion Amicitiesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 90.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Amicitiesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,017 trillion franiqs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,030 franiqs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, rumor has it that Famagadal Asentis has won three lotteries in a row, the fate of the world literally rests on Famagadal Asentis's fingers, and engaged partners detail their fiancés' private lives in detail to prurient bureaucrats. 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 124,217^th in the world and 641^st in Europe for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 372.03 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
