The Incorporated States of The Second American Republic is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 379 million Americans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Washington. The average income tax rate is 71.9%.

The very strong American economy, worth 28.7 trillion New Dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,720 New Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand, The Second American Republic has designated New Washington as its capital city, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Second American Republic's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Second American Republic is ranked 259,194^th in the world and 4,590^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -130.68 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
