The Workers' Republic of American Soviet Confederation is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.079 billion Americans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of De Leon-Debs. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient American economy, worth 56.7 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,552 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on American Soviet Confederation, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime is totally unknown. American Soviet Confederation's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

American Soviet Confederation is ranked 37,560^th in the world and 266^th in The Leftist Assembly for Healthiest Citizens, with 7.03 bananas ingested per day.
