The Socialist Republic of The American Democratic Union is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by President Steven Wesley Andrews with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.341 billion Americans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York City. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth 874 trillion United States Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 163,650 United States Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, the government is paving paradises to put up parking lots, and citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The American Democratic Union's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The American Democratic Union is ranked 4,003^rd in the world and 3^rd in The Interdimensional Community for Lowest Crime Rates, with 122.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
