“Defenders of the Realm”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Defender Amaera is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.398 billion Defender Amaerans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.9%.

The all-consuming Defender Amaeran economy, worth 446 trillion Apexias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,606 Apexias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the government spends millions of Apexias every year prosecuting spammers, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and more than one company makes the board game Monopoly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Defender Amaera's national animal is the Mythic.

Defender Amaera is ranked 104,791^st in the world and 73^rd in The Apexialan Commonwealth for Most Primitive, scoring -20.5 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
