The United States of Singularity-97 is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Scorpion population. The hard-working population of 1.096 billion Singularity-97ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.2%.

The Singularity-97ian economy, worth 52.4 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 47,802 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Singularity-97's national animal is the Scorpion.

Singularity-97 is ranked 304,196^th in the world and 14,334^th in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -50.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
