The Unitary State of The United Remnants of America is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Gabriel Drake with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 20.625 billion Remnants are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olympia. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Remnant economy, worth a remarkable 2,097 trillion Remnant Credits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,693 Remnant Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Remnants of America's national animal is the Roskian Wolfbear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The United Remnants of America is ranked 12,639^th in the world and 6^th in The Council of The Multiverse for Smartest Citizens, with 81.9 quips per hour.
