The United States of Schyeah is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lil B with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.45 billion Schyeahians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flexington. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Schyeahian economy, worth 187 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 129,274 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, visions of giant pink Condors are a common side effect after Schyeahians eat their meals, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime is totally unknown. Schyeah's national animal is the Condor, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is drankology.

Schyeah is ranked 56,935th in the world and 11th in Gypsy Lands for Most Patriotic, with 30.54 flags saluted per person per day.
