Overview • PeopleGovernmentEconomyTrendAnalysis

The United States of General Hammond is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Major General George Hammond with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.617 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 is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stargate Command. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining industries.

Public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", General Hammond has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. General Hammond's national animal is the Asgard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Dollar.

General Hammond is ranked 39th in Stargate and 55,687th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
