The Federal Republic of Uson is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Elias Donovan with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.204 billion Usonians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potomac. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Usonian economy, worth 189 trillion Usonian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,181 Usonian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traditional vegetarians are fuming over the introduction of vat-grown meat to the menu, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and tech companies are playing whack-a-mole with one-post accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uson's national animal is the Bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Uson is ranked 139,046^th in the world and 419^th in Europeia for Most Influential, scoring 415 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
