The Federal Republic of The American Free States is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Ethan Marshall with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.229 billion Americans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 70.7%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 1,439 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,740 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and Americans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The American Free States's national animal is the bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

The American Free States is ranked 40,785^th in the world and 10^th in United States of America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
