“Old Blood and Guts”

The Allied States of The 3rd Army is a massive, safe nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.177 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, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of the 3rd Army . The average income tax rate is 61%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, refugees from other nations are flocking to The 3rd Army's border, cities are engulfed by smog, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 3rd Army's national animal is the Bald Eagle, and its currency is the US Dollar.

The 3rd Army is ranked 17th in the region and 6,259th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
