The Merciful Harbinger of Astorian Ambis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Archangel Ambis with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 1.244 billion Astorian Ambisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Radiant City. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Astorian Ambisian economy, worth 56.7 trillion Loyalties a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,568 Loyalties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Childhood friends of Archangel Ambis are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, and business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Astorian Ambis's national animal is the The Black Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Enlightened Order.

Astorian Ambis is ranked 22,386^th in the world and 30^th in Astoria for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,599.72 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
