The United States of Greenburgland is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Timmy with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 7.843 billion Greenburglandians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Greenburglandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,189 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 151,636 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

High school bands practice by moonlight, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and Timmy has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greenburgland's national animal is the Bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Greenburgland is ranked 163,400th in the world and 22nd in The United Mapgame Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 232.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
