The Democratic Republic of Amendment 8 is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 1.975 billion Advocates hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Industry aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 10.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Amendment 8ian economy, worth 75.3 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,124 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is well under control. Amendment 8's national animal is the fox.

Amendment 8 is ranked 280,420^th in the world and 2^nd in Being for Most Developed, scoring 49.47 on the Human Development Index.
