The Independent Nation of Republic of Altos and Stratis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Amelia-Rose Hamilton with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.667 billion Amerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardmarie. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Amerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,690 trillion Amerian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,644 Amerian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Amerian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, Amerian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Altos and Stratis's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Republic of Altos and Stratis is ranked 2,456^th in the world and 1^st in Aels for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 27,457.25 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
