The Estados Unidos Socialistas of Post War America is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nataliya Valinova with a fair hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.833 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veluna City. The average income tax rate is 96%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Tourism.

The state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and abattoirs are running at full capacity in response to skyrocketing demand. Crime is totally unknown. Post War America's national animal is the Red Tailed Hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is No Religion, and its currency is the Universal Trade System.

Post War America is ranked 1st in Mystria and 8,612th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 179 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
