The United States of B-1 Lancer is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 62 million B-1 Lancerians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 18.8%.

The B-1 Lancerian economy, worth 3.07 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,454 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. B-1 Lancer's national animal is the Rockwell.

B-1 Lancer is ranked 74,312^th in the world and 6^th in Project Nighthawk for Safest, scoring 94.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
