The United States of Usaint is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Grant Gentry with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.12 billion Usaintians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saffron Core. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Usaintian economy, worth a remarkable 1,036 trillion Remnoisks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 251,546 Remnoisks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,032,419 per year while the poor average 40,464, a ratio of 25.5 to 1.

Bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, and almost all products in Usaint are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws. Crime is totally unknown. Usaint's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Usaint is ranked 5,940^th in the world and 2^nd in Banfield for Most Developed, scoring 93.83 on the Human Development Index.
