The United States of United S A is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The hard-working, democratic population of 182 million United S Aians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong United S Aian economy, worth 11.5 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Average income is 63,318 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,719 per year while the poor average 12,348, a ratio of 18.7 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the death penalty has been reintroduced, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. United S A's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

United S A is ranked 213,012^th in the world and 232^nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Patriotic, with 5.39 flags saluted per person per day.
