The Republic of N-methylamphetamine is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.393 billion N-methylamphetamineans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.2%.

The very strong N-methylamphetaminean economy, worth 507 trillion francs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 40,965 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 124,571 per year while the poor average 10,462, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, tabloids coo over Leader's expected child, reinventing the wheel is a favourite pastime of N-methylamphetaminean weapons designers, and soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. N-methylamphetamine's national animal is the emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

N-methylamphetamine is ranked 267,492^nd in the world and 4,617^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
