The Grapes of Wrath of Amadi is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.215 billion Amadians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 28.8%.

The all-consuming Amadian economy, worth a remarkable 2,021 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,206 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and the might of the entire Amadian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amadi's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Amadi is ranked 251,395^th in the world and 1^st in Salzburg for Most Primitive, scoring -156.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
