The Republic of Amabilis is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Pavel Rutkovsky with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.141 billion Amabilisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Tondo. The average income tax rate is 92.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Amabilisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,099 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 289,932 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Pet rocks are sold by the pound, arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands, doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, and the "give and take" of international diplomacy often happens at gunpoint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amabilis's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Nashrelig.

Amabilis is ranked 332,646^th in the world and 4,289^th in The East Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 7.25 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
