The Theocracy of Amenland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Pope with an even hand, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.516 billion Amenlandese are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Harbor. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amenlandese economy, worth a remarkable 1,270 trillion Holy Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 133,546 Holy Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Amenland, father-son fishing trips have been banned, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amenland's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Amenland is ranked 88,379th in the world and 527th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 515.06339952588 days.
