The Haven of Amestny is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vervis the III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed population of 1.103 billion Amestnyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yornu-Rynoi City. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Amestnyian economy, worth 110 trillion Rynois 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. 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 100,287 Rynois, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a hole in the heart of every Amestnyian city, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Amestny's national animal is the Golden Lion of Yornu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Shadow of Yornu.

Amestny is ranked 271,647^th in the world and 1,016^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -162.17 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
