The Free Land of Eco nomics is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 312 million Americans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth 33.0 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 105,882 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, and formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eco nomics's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eco nomics is ranked 317,008^th in the world and 16^th in Economic Development Zone for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -7.75 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
