The Free Land of RonPaulUSA is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 617 million live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of RonPaulUSA City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. RonPaulUSA's national animal is the Ron Paul For Freedom And Peace, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Google No Tax On Tips Ron Paul.

RonPaulUSA is ranked 18th in North America and 34,404th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -11 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
