The Democratic Republic of Amalea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ultimate Drossart with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 15.777 billion Amaleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valianor. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amalean economy, worth a remarkable 1,696 trillion lire a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,544 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, the Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, and a third of Amaleans are e-certified CEOs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amalea's national animal is the golden dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Amalea is ranked 8,676^th in the world and 477^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 127 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
