The North American Commonwealth of Union of America is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.665 billion Americans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.
The very strong American economy, worth 544 trillion Ameroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 62,814 Ameroes, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.
Voting is voluntary, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, surveillance cameras are banned, and Maxtopian villagers starve by the time American officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them. Crime is moderate. Union of America's national animal is the eagle.
Union of America is ranked 159,327th in the world and 2nd in The North American Union for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 555.25 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
