The Federation of New us ville is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Wycliffe Charles Lodestar with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 22.356 billion New us villeans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alixville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient New us villean economy, worth a remarkable 6,440 trillion Adokins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 288,084 Adokins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,086,814 per year while the poor average 53,189, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.
