The Mystical Special Nation of Amy thy Hedgehog is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Amylia Firewaterwolf with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.732 billion Amys are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amyzia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Amyan economy, worth a remarkable 2,800 trillion Gold Rings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 320,685 Gold Rings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is proud to report that ten percent of all tax revenue goes to funding suspected terrorist organizations, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and high school career advisors advise belligerent loners to consider vigilantism. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amy thy Hedgehog's national animal is the Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Pizza.

Amy thy Hedgehog is ranked 1,290th in the world and 3rd in Green Hills for Lowest Crime Rates, with 161.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
