The Constitutional Monarchy of Amakam is a huge, genial nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 231 million Amakas enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Amakamian economy, worth 11.5 trillion Karpashans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,991 Karpashans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, the entire entry for Amakam in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', billions are being spent on a new island airport, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amakam's national animal is the Garuda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Amakam is ranked 55,750^th in the world and 37^th in India for Smartest Citizens, with 40.75 quips per hour.
