The Republic of Small United States is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mitt Pence with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.998 billion Small United Statesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Angeles DC. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Small United Statesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,780 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,310 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, most towns have their Mitt Pence High School located on Mitt Pence Street, and Mitt Pence can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Small United States's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Small United States is ranked 43,141^st in the world and 2^nd in Organization of United Sovereign States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
