The United States of Earth Federation is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by ATLAS Artificial Intelligence with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.219 billion 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Earth Federation's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Credit.

Earth Federation is ranked 719th in 10000 Islands and 48,260th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 20 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
