The Haven of Amestny is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lucine V3 with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.99 billion Mices are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yornu-Rynoi City. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Amestnyian economy, worth 652 trillion Rynois a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,693 Rynois, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Windows in Yornu-Rynoi City don't have much of a view, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end, and kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amestny's national animal is the soft moon-rats of Lucy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Moon of Yornu.

Amestny is ranked 237,108^th in the world and 3,705^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 35.01 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
