The Federal Republic of United States of Medford is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Von George with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 3.151 billion Medfordians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newice. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Medfordian economy, worth 569 trillion Medford Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,619 Medford Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United States of Medford's national animal is the Medford, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church Of Medford.

United States of Medford is ranked 17,783^rd in the world and 897^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,654.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
