The Holy Technocracy of New Amerik is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by High Division-Priest Zenna Theraview with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 30.574 billion Amerikans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sadevko Megalopolis. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Amerikan economy, worth a remarkable 5,599 trillion personal favors a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 183,145 personal favors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Blood stains the floors of the execution room and the hands of the state, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, local councils have to call in dump trucks to clear parks of dinosaur droppings, and sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Amerik's national animal is the fractal anomaly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vasquailism.

New Amerik is ranked 135,378th in the world and 12th in Realm of Unrestricted Science for Highest Food Quality, scoring 17.23 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
