The Dictatorship of Amythest is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The hard-working, cynical population of 105 million Amythestians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.0%.
The very strong Amythestian economy, worth 5.91 trillion Bells a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 56,239 Bells, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.
Organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and pranking is an art form. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amythest's national animal is the Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Amythest is ranked 271,572nd in the world and 66th in Niamark for Nudest, with 49.5 cheeks per square mile.
