The Adorable Dance of Amethyst Junimos is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, otherworldly petting zoo, and infamous sell-swords. The devout population of 7.708 billion Amethyst Junimosians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Amethyst Junimosian economy, worth 692 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,891 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amethyst Junimos's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Amethyst Junimos is ranked 53,644th in the world and 1st in afreurasia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,852.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
