The Survivalist Compact of The Commoners Republic of America is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President York with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.522 billion Commoner's hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federal District of Neo-Libertalia. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Republican economy, worth a remarkable 2,597 trillion CR Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 192,078 CR Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

President York's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, President York is called 'Patches' at international summits, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume. Crime is totally unknown. The Commoners Republic of America's national animal is the Pony, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom of Religion.

The Commoners Republic of America is ranked 10,346^th in the world and 508^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,742.58 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
