The Kingdom of Patria AMV is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 351 million Patria AMVians 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 large, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Patria AMVian economy, worth 3.64 trillion svenish kronor 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 black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 10,377 svenish kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Patria AMV's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the nation is The Royal Svenish Defense Forces's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, prison is a nightmare, and scientists are not permitted to ask questions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patria AMV's national animal is the patria AMV, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Patria AMV is ranked 299,975th in the world and 8th in The Royal Svenish Defense Forces for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 6,298.94 Standard Monetary Units.
