The Darkened Skies of Amerind is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Salish with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.608 billion Amerindians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Obelisk. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Amerindian economy, worth 196 trillion Stones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 22,805 Stones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Amerindian restaurants, highly paid government contractors are found coughing up furballs in alleyways, and criminal convictions are routinely thrown out because the accused's grandmother didn't get to testify about their good character. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amerind's national animal is the False One, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Wise Ones.

Amerind is ranked 25,008th in the world and 38th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Most Stationary, with 1,462.12768923768 days.
