The Empire of The United States of Capitalism is a huge, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 786 million Capitalismians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Captalismia. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Capitalismian economy, worth 53.4 trillion Gerds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,980 Gerds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United States of Capitalism's national animal is the Frigatebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The United States of Capitalism is ranked 192,193rd in the world and 649th in Concord for Safest, scoring 47.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
