The United States of The Socialist Republic of America is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 3.375 billion Americans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.6%.

The American economy, worth 165 trillion SRA dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 48,973 SRA dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Millions of Americans are excellent swimmers, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, the government has to take out its Visa to eliminate visas, and retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Socialist Republic of America's national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Socialist Republic of America is ranked 274,926^th in the world and 123^rd in Changuu for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.17 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
