The Illuminated Kingdom of The Ambis is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Richard Isarti II with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 4.949 billion Ambisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elios. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ambisian economy, worth 921 trillion Sca'ars 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 186,278 Sca'ars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money can't buy love but mercy is entirely negotiable, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, children get arrested for floating paper boats on lakes, and overcrowded buses are the new normal for suburban commuters. Crime is totally unknown. The Ambis's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Illuminatism.

The Ambis is ranked 2,593rd in the world and 2nd in Thaecia for Most Cultured, scoring 233 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
