Amsterdam is a minuscule region, inhabited by a sole nation.
Throughout Amsterdam, traditions are kept strictly throughout the region, punishing upstarts and rabble-rousers harshly. Denizens are flush with political freedom, although competing opinions often mean that political gridlock is the norm. The economy of the region exists only in the imaginations of its members. Inhabitants of the region ultimately pay most of their earnings to the government, as the median tax rate is 92%, or more! The region is a socialist utopia: private enterprise is strictly prohibited in the constituent economies. Commerce within the region is an irrelevant annoyance to governments.
Education is a priority for governments throughout Amsterdam, with ample funding being provided and teachers enjoying a great deal of support. The region's law enforcement is arguably too well-equipped and overzealous, arresting citizens who dare to commit the most minor of infractions. Denizens have small defense forces. Public transport is an afterthought, with only 2% of total government budgets in the region being devoted to it.
Nobody really knows about the state of administration in Amsterdam. Observers asked for information, but found nobody was available to take calls. Governments generally endow their healthcare departments with a large amount of funding, with an average of 9% of government budgets across the region being devoted to healthcare. No welfare is provided in the region. Those unlucky enough to fall into unemployment are forgotten and abandoned. Governments in the region are avowedly atheist - no public funds are allocated to spirituality.
In Amsterdam, Social inequality is total, with wealth being held by a tiny fraction of the region's populace. Denizens live in stunning natural environments.
