The Corporate State of Amadeus Syndicate is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.935 billion Citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The very strong Amadeus Syndicatean economy, worth 214 trillion Gold Standards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 72,958 Gold Standards, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens need a magnifying glass and color chart to distinguish between nearly identical brand labels, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amadeus Syndicate's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Amadeus Syndicate is ranked 261,547^th in the world and 47^th in Saint Helene for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 13.18 Effective Tax Rate.
