The Global Hegemon of The American Nationalist Empire is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by General MacArthur with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.819 billion Americans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Washington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The powerhouse American economy, worth 128 trillion US Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 70,728 US Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 330,559 per year while the poor average 9,048, a ratio of 36.5 to 1.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and the police insist that racism does not exist. Crime is a problem. The American Nationalist Empire's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

The American Nationalist Empire is ranked 89,817^th in the world and 2^nd in Americana for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
