The Colonies of Amonstarte is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Terry Jefferson with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.137 billion Amonstarteans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Richmond Virginia. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amonstartean economy, worth 593 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,538 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of Amonstarte, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Amonstarte. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amonstarte's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christian.

Amonstarte is ranked 29,828th in the world and 1,726th in Balder for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 74.3 Effective Tax Rate.
