The Amberk Republiek of Kaonas is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Auterun with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.673 billion Amberks enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bloempunt. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amberk economy, worth 743 trillion Chits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,929 Chits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes, childhood friends of President Auterun are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, and board shorts have replaced board rooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaonas's national animal is the Bagder, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaonas is ranked 27,851^st in the world and 596^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 83 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
