The Socialist Republic of The American Continentes is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Marxist Liberation Party with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.693 billion Greater Americans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

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 2,135 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, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 220,301 Libertadors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes, rumor has it that The Marxist Liberation Party has won three lotteries in a row, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and bike rage is all the rage. 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.

The American Continentes is ranked 103,172^nd in the world and 5^th in The Internationale for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,692.45 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
