The New Martial Republic of American Pere Housh is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Alexander Jones with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 11.406 billion Pere Houshians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dallas. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pere Houshian economy, worth a remarkable 2,292 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 201,023 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pere Houshian doors require a Ph.D. to open, umbrellas are back in fashion, recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. American Pere Housh's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

American Pere Housh is ranked 8,763^rd in the world and 57^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Lowest Crime Rates, with 103.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
