The United Stratocratic States of The Strategic Air Command is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Curtis LeMay with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.218 billion Airmen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Offutt Air Force Base. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient SAC economy, worth an astonishing 41,745 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 1,337,209 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,568,007 per year while the poor average 209,932, a ratio of 26.5 to 1.

Citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, losing your sock key may require surgical intervention, and the term "Native Airman" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Strategic Air Command's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Strategic Air Command is ranked 308,121^st in the world and 21^st in The Allied States for Most Cultured, scoring -872 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
