The United States of Eldridge Crossings is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Dr Jay Booker with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.897 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Bend. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Information Technology.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eldridge Crossings's national animal is the Cougar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Dollar.

Eldridge Crossings is ranked 1,284th in The East Pacific and 33,136th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
