The Rogue Nation of Amyx is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.719 billion Amyxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Amyxian economy, worth a remarkable 5,777 trillion Amyx Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 421,142 Amyx Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,570,659 per year while the poor average 30,450, a ratio of 84.4 to 1.
Police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, the homeless more often beg for mercy than money, and it is said that an Amyxian woman's work is never done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Amyx's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Amyx is ranked 326,541st in the world and 54th in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring -41.83 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
