The Incorporated States of Efficient Economy is a large, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 134 million Americans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 16.0%.

The all-consuming American economy, worth 10.5 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 78,245 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

School uniforms are compulsory, the Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Efficient Economy's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Efficient Economy is ranked 42,645^th in the world and 6^th in Economic Development Zone for Nicest Citizens, with 18.34 average smiles per day.
