The United States of Pre-war America is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Al Good with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 14.556 billion Americans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 43.8%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 2,852 trillion Libertycoins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 195,948 Libertycoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, the government has announced its plans to construct a giant weaponised robot-cat, even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love, and drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients. Crime is totally unknown. Pre-war America's national animal is the Bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pre-war America is ranked 78,985th in the world and 1,435th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 26.11 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
