The Kingdom of Destratus America is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Someone with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.834 billion Destratus Americans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 57.1%.

The strong Destratus American economy, worth 555 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,862 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, Someone's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Destratus America's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Destratus America is ranked 121,774th in the world and 4,231st in Suspicious for Most Primitive, scoring -36.06 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
