The Parliamentary Duchy of Amerian States is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Duke Thomas II Klados with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.516 billion Wolffoxians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Etern. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Wolffoxian economy, worth a remarkable 2,491 trillion Feathertins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,055 Feathertins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime is totally unknown. Amerian States's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eternalism.

Amerian States is ranked 693^rd in the world and 24^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 39,905.69 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
