Ampersand is a tiny, under developed, and new nation at 1 days old with citizens primarily of Pacific Islander ethnicity who follow mixed religions. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens enjoy freedom from high taxation and as a result tend to earn more money. The citizens of Ampersand work diligently to produce Aluminum and Cattle as tradable resources for their nation. It is a very passive country when it comes to foreign affairs and has no interests in war. Ampersand is currently researching nuclear technology for the use of nuclear power plants but believes nuclear weapons should be banned. Plans are on the way within Ampersand to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Ampersand allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Free speech is considered taboo in Ampersand. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Ampersand will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.
