The Dominion of The American Technoconsortum is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 297 million American Technoconsortumians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish American Technoconsortumian economy, worth 7.50 trillion Bolts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 25,255 Bolts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, a soldier's body is a temple, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The American Technoconsortum's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The American Technoconsortum is ranked 37,479th in the world and 163rd in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 787.14 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
