The Federal State of Great United States is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Harrison Grey with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.365 billion Americans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Administrative Metropolitan Complex. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.7%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 1,779 trillion New Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 171,690 New Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 490,159 per year while the poor average 47,928, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, the air force's greatness is based on how many enemies are made during procurement, police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, and ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto American beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great United States's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Great United States is ranked 308,710^th in the world and 16,760^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 0.76 average smiles per day.
