The Oppressed Peoples of New Amsterdam Liberation Organization is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, parental licensing program, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 13.999 billion Activists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Militant economy, worth 151 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,855 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All 'unconventional' weaponry has been banned, the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and the government pours millions of florins into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Amsterdam Liberation Organization's national animal is the otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Amsterdam Liberation Organization is ranked 78,572^nd in the world and 15^th in Atlantis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
