The Grand Duchy of Amerian States is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Duke Leon I Klados with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.27 billion Amerians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolffox. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Amerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,448 trillion Feathertins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,523 Feathertins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, the Amerian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations. Crime is totally unknown. Amerian States's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eternalism.

Amerian States is ranked 111,184^th in the world and 4,648^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,540.42 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
