The Republic of Imperial Amber is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 347 million Imperial Amberians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 32.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Imperial Amberian economy, worth 13.9 trillion Somethings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 40,153 Somethings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, graffiti graces every city's streets, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and many suspect that the 'Whinny The Plop' children's magazine contains covert criticism of Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial Amber's national animal is the Dino.

Imperial Amber is ranked 125,538^th in the world and 42^nd in The Mood for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,147.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
