The Republic of Amalee is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.949 billion Amaleeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.0%.

The very strong Amaleean economy, worth 675 trillion yen 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. 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 75,507 yen, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 430,645 per year while the poor average 6,423, a ratio of 67.0 to 1.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, Amalee has the hottest women in the world, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, and people on the brink of death are put through unwanted and stressful procedures. Crime is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Amalee's national animal is the monarch butterfly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Amalee is ranked 182,345^th in the world and 1,714^th in Remembrance for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 24.04 Effective Tax Rate.
