The Christian Continental Union of Americolumbia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Silas Ludwell with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 22.647 billion Americans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 6,390 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 282,190 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, vaccinations are mandatory, sweet-toothed Americans have been left penniless by the VAT on candy, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Americolumbia's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Americolumbia is ranked 332,404^th in the world and 108^th in Union of Christian Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -34.76 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
