The Federation of New us ville is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Wycliffe Charles Lodestar with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 22.419 billion New us villeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alixville. The average income tax rate is 2.3%.

The frighteningly efficient New us villean economy, worth a remarkable 6,549 trillion Adokins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 292,129 Adokins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Wycliffe Charles Lodestar's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, birth rates have hit an all-time low, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds. Crime is totally unknown. New us ville's national animal is the Pentade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New us ville is ranked 9,151^st in the world and 293^rd in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 65.74 flags saluted per person per day.
