The Empire of Greater American Federation is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 257 million Greater American Federationians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.0%.

The very strong Greater American Federationian economy, worth 15.8 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,347 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 187,038 per year while the poor average 15,609, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Greater American Federationian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater American Federation's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Greater American Federation is ranked 82,974^th in the world and 3^rd in The Imperial Coalition for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,082.97 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
