The United States of Grediana is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 132 million American Slaves are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.
The thriving American slave economy, worth 11.5 trillion American USDS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 87,261 American USDS, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 744,852 per year while the poor average 1,790, a ratio of 415 to 1.
High school bands practice by moonlight, personal injury lawyers are demanding compensation from the government after recent reductions in manufacturer liability, diabetics find the contents of their medications hard to stomach, and motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Grediana's national animal is the Unfree Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Grediana is ranked 302,984th in the world and 50th in NATO 2022 for Nicest Citizens, with 1.02 average smiles per day.
