The State of Ammoretta is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.183 billion Ammorettans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong Ammorettan economy, worth 533 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 43,827 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,471 per year while the poor average 2,747, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ammoretta's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ammoretta is ranked 91,882^nd in the world and 3^rd in Nebraska for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,652.74 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
