The Imperial Consortium of Like Murica is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Donald John Trump with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.827 billion Muricans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Like Murican economy, worth a remarkable 9,177 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is a breathtaking 579,893 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,367,884 per year while the poor average 6,031, a ratio of 889 to 1.

Distant and obscure male relatives succeed to the Like Murican throne, a citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and there's some really clean windows in Like Murican houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Like Murica's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Like Murica is ranked 340,885th in the world and 5,887th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
