The Republic of American Psychos16 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 1.526 billion American Psychos16ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse American Psychos16ian economy, worth 117 trillion Business Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 76,797 Business Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals, and American Psychos16ians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. American Psychos16's national animal is the Paul Allen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

American Psychos16 is ranked 38,026^th in the world and 407^th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,875.03 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
