The United States of Amerinum is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Jon Caellum with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.366 billion Amerinums 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Citadel. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amerinumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,243 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 231,734 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Being President Jon Caellum has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and President Jon Caellum reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amerinum's national animal is the Northern Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Amerinum is ranked 5,769^th in the world and 284^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113 law-abiding acts per hour.
