The Federal Republic of The American Free States is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Ethan Marshall with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.304 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 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 139,233 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 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 20,877^th in the world and 12^th in United States of America for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,002.38 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
