“Twirling Toward Freedom”

The Free Land of Amalfi Bay is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its smutty television, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.038 billion Amalfi Bayians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glasgay. The average income tax rate is 88.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amalfi Bayian economy, worth 110 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,513 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, orange juice has been renamed yellow juice, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amalfi Bay's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tunnock's.

Amalfi Bay is ranked 314,915^th in the world and 94^th in MHBs New Earth for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
