The Socialist Republic of The American Continentes is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Marxist Liberation Party with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.779 billion Greater Americans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Republica. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater American economy, worth a remarkable 2,159 trillion Libertadors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 220,784 Libertadors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, contestants on The American Continentes's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The American Continentes's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
