The New Cruor Federation of Flyover America is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Avakael with a fair hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 22.213 billion Americans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Shreveport. The average income tax rate is 6.9%.

The very strong Flyover American economy, worth 904 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,722 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crop circles are intently studied by investigators with questionable merits, the mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Flyover America's national animal is the White Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cruor.

Flyover America is ranked 228,837^th in the world and 481^st in Ordo Imperialia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
