The United States of B-1 Lancer is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 23 million B-1 Lancerians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 17.5%.

The strong B-1 Lancerian economy, worth 1.15 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,029 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

A cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. B-1 Lancer's national animal is the Rockwell.

B-1 Lancer is ranked 318,397^th in the world and 14^th in Project Nighthawk for Largest Populations, with 23.0 million capita.
