The Federation of Amarania is a small, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 26 million Amaranials are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Amaranian economy, worth 754 billion euks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 29,038 euks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Concussed catball players cannot remember their lineup position, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, government election advice reads like a restaurant menu, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime is totally unknown. Amarania's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Amarania is ranked 298,767^th in the world and 2^nd in Kamaranu for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,274.04 Standard Monetary Units.
