The United States of NightHawk is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The President with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 49.489 billion NightHawkians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Farbanti. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient NightHawkian economy, worth a remarkable 5,463 trillion Unified Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,407 Unified Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, the tightness of border controls in NightHawk leave a little to be desired, the nation is famous for bravely sending wave after wave of its soldiers until the enemy runs out of bullets, and residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NightHawk's national animal is the NightHawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

NightHawk is ranked 309,272nd in the world and 2nd in ISAF2 for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -21.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
