The Republic of Ammosia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Elián Mateo with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.552 billion Ammosians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jericó Resurrección. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ammosian economy, worth 174 trillion Ammosian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,219 Ammosian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Red Panda, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, research into 'designer babies' is banned, and military officers are given medals for disobeying orders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ammosia's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ammosia is ranked 47,680^th in the world and 1,510^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 154.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
