The State of Posey Ament is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 34.108 billion Posey Amentians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The thriving Posey Amentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,079 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 31,641 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, Posey Ament's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, military funding has been stripped back, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Posey Ament's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Posey Ament is ranked 139,591^st in the world and 291^st in State for Most Developed, scoring 56.46 on the Human Development Index.
