The Wanderer of Wanderer from Nowhere is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Federal Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.641 billion Americans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Las Vegas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The very strong American economy, worth 261 trillion Alls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Average income is 56,349 Alls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 367,966 per year while the poor average 3,406, a ratio of 108 to 1.

The well-to-do in THE W0RLD are never on time for important appointments, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?", and pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Wanderer from Nowhere's national animal is the Children, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nowhereism.

Wanderer from Nowhere is ranked 3,635^th in the world and 1^st in THE W0RLD for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,018.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
