What is known is that, since the formation of Amestris, the parliament has been used as a mere facade to distract from a more authoritarian regime, as the government appears to be almost completely centralized by the m...

    Amestris was officially founded around 1550, though the country existed prior to that date, without much organization or government to speak of. The coming of the “Philosopher of the East” changed that nation's history by providing them knowledge in the practice of Alchemy, which led to an uprising of Amestris' influence and power in the region. Af...

    The official flag of Amestris is a rectangle, with an argent dragon rampant in a field of vert. The dragon is also present in the symbol of the State Alchemists, which bears it inside a hexagram (replaced with an Auseklis-like cross in both anime series) and a wreath of laurel leaves. A variation of the flag with a bordure is also used as a badge o...

    The manga's later chapters reveal that Amestris had its growth and strengthening orchestrated for a precise purpose - the creation of a giant Nationwide Transmutation Circle, much like the one Father used in Xerxes.

    2003 Anime

    The last episodes of the 2003 anime and the movie indicate the close parallels between Amestris and the Weimar Republic in Germany.

In the movie Conqueror of Shamballa, the Elric brothers have no difficulty communicating with Germans once they ar...
