The United States of Usaint is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Grant Gentry with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.956 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, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saffron Core. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Usaintian economy, worth 928 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 frequent. Average income is an amazing 234,713 Remnoisks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,317,312 per year while the poor average 20,707, a ratio of 63.6 to 1.

Usaintian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, it's rumored that Marche Noire knows what the nation's generals eat for breakfast, thick smog keeps Usaintians from looking too far ahead, and mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism. 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 3,728^th in the world and 2^nd in Banfield for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 639.65 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
