The United Commonwealths of The Washington Federation is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Alec Cook with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate population of 13.734 billion Washingtonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Columbia. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Washingtonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,511 trillion Richmonds 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 major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 110,070 Richmonds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Alec Cook is wearing this season, all that glitters is Alec Cook's toilet, scientists take credit every time it rains in The Region That Has No Big Banks, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Washington Federation's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Manifest Destiny.

The Washington Federation is ranked 268,129^th in the world and 170^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Fattest Citizens, with 6.73 Obesity Rate.
