The Federation of The United American Provinces is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President John Smith with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, devout population of 13.217 billion Provincials 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.

The large government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Administration receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Provincial economy, worth 742 trillion Greenbacks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,154 Greenbacks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, genetic researchers have been expelled, voting is voluntary, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United American Provinces's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Freedom of Religion.

The United American Provinces is ranked 83,119^th in the world and 7^th in The Graveyard for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,959.72 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
