The Kingdom of Amderlask is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.23 billion Amderlaskians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amderlaskian economy, worth 147 trillion Guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 120,259 Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, the 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and Amderlaskians incessantly needle their doctors for relief. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amderlask's national animal is the Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Amderlask is ranked 9,245^th in the world and 498^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.48 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
