  WELCOME TO THE EDGE
  W
  elcome you tourists, sight-seers, entrepreneurs, seekers, sybarites, citizens of
  illegal nations and you terminally misguided; welcome to the Edge.  May
  your stay be pleasant or eventful, whichever you wish.
  To make your stay in Al Amarja more enjoyable, kindly keep in mind the follow-
  ing facts about our fine island.
  Firearms — Firearms of all kinds are outlawed since there is no wild game to hunt.
  Only the Peace Force may carry firearms.  If you have smuggled firearms onto
  the island and are caught with them, you will face severe punishments.
  Controlled Substances — All intoxicants generally illegal in the civilized world are
  illegal on Al Amarja.  Do not be deceived by appearances.
  The Temple — Social and spiritual needs may be met at the Temple of the Divine
  Experience on D’Aubainne Avenue.  Celebrants of all faiths and sects (except
  Satanists) are welcome at the services.  Please note that the high priestess of the
  Temple is Cheryl D’Aubainne, daughter of Her Exaltedness Monique
  D’Aubainne, Historic Liberator and Current Shepherdess of Al Amarja.  Utmost
  respect is therefore due to the Temple, its celebrants, and its creeds.
  Currency — Al Amarja uses the US dollar as its currency.  Exchanges of other cur-
  rencies, as well as valuable substances in general, may be made at Swaps, on the
  Plaza of Gold.  Please note that Swaps is run by Constance D’Aubainne, the
  daughter of Her Exaltedness Monique D’Aubainne, Historic Liberator and
  Current Shepherdess of Al Amarja.  Utmost respect is therefore due to Swaps, its
  employees, and its policies.
  Medical Services — Should you find yourself in need of medical services during
  your stay (and may the gods forbid such a calamity), you may seek medical atten-
  tion at the D’Aubainne Clinic, on D’Aubainne Avenue.  Dr. Nusbaum and his
  staff are eager to ease your suffering.  Special programs are available for those
  who are unable to pay for the services they require.
  History — Al Amarja was liberated from the Italian fascists on October 7, 1940, by
  Her Exaltedness Monique D’Aubainne.  Since that time, she has brought stabili-
  ty, excitement, peace, security, and prosperity to Al Amarja.  It was she who saw
  the wisdom of adopting the language and currency of the ascendent nation and
  thus put us in our enviable position among Mediterranean islands.  Al Amarjans
  continue to enjoy a healthy mix of cultures and languages, while relying on our
  connection to the USA for unity and stability.  And we freely offer the delights of
  these cultures to visitors.  Welcome, and enjoy.
