The United States of Fallenstorm is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Monica A Palms with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.653 billion Stormians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Law & Order, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Royalbird. The average income tax rate is 17.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Stormian economy, worth 623 trillion Bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,664 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens brought into court for parking violations are never heard from again, political dissidents are cut off from essential services, the holidays begin with the traditional exchanging of aspirin, and the government is a law unto itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fallenstorm's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Thruthfulism.

Fallenstorm is ranked 31,380th in the world and 3rd in Tradeborough Straits for Largest Black Market, with 57.1 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
