The United Nations of PanAmerika is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Alphonse Hamilton with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.117 billion PanAmericans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo York City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The powerhouse American economy, worth 391 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 76,508 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 317,419 per year while the poor average 12,085, a ratio of 26.3 to 1.

Foreign visitors who show an interest in American politics are immediately deported, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, and parents dread their examinations more than their children. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. PanAmerika's national animal is the cougar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

PanAmerika is ranked 239,328^th in the world and 30^th in Allied Nations Treaty Organization for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
