The Federation of The Americas is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Yoshiko Tsushima with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 21.614 billion Americans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caracas. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 5,444 trillion reais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 251,909 reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, stylish juvenile delinquents are highly overrepresented in fatal motorcycle accidents, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, and freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Americas's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Americas is ranked 3,729^th in the world and 7^th in Gensokyo for Smartest Citizens, with 150.22 quips per hour.
