Following independence, the Ametàn economy struggled. Facing increased costs of living and limited industry to contribute to an increasingly globalizing economy, the island's government turned to tourism. Being one of few volcanic islands in the Meridan sea, this industry exploded, with tens of thousands of Serrian tourists flocking to the beaches, mostly from Agios, Paros, and Granto. Ametà joined the League of Serrian States in 1965, and the Serrian Economic Cooperation Treaty shortly after.

In 1982, the island abandoned its flailing domestic currency, the Mar, for the Serrian lira. Despite domestic movements to join the [[Council of Democratic Nations]], a neutrality constitutional amendment passed a national referendum in 1998, solidifying the islands' role as a neutral state in the Meridan despite its strategic location.

The armed forces of Ametà are small. Lacking a formal army, the island relies on its gendarmerie to protect its sovereignty on land. Its small navy of corvettes and patrol boats enforce its large exclusive economic zone, and its Air Force composed of older maritime patrol aircraft and trainers limit its ability to defend against invasion. Most of the island's large military facilities are leased to the [[Serrian Defense Force]], who operate Draghi Air Force Base and Naval Base Ametà.
