The Kingdom of Aman Sur is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 1.508 billion Aman Surians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Aman Surian economy, worth 53.8 trillion kubnurs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,686 kubnurs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Aman Surians any less frightened, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Aman Sur's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Aman Sur is ranked 250,450^th in the world and 510^th in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
