The United States of Usaint is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman Grant Gentry with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.963 billion Usaintians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saffron Core. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Usaintian economy, worth 933 trillion Remnoisks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 235,531 Remnoisks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,326,349 per year while the poor average 20,623, a ratio of 64.3 to 1.

Preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, and many believe climate change is a liberal media fiction. Crime is totally unknown. Usaint's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Usaint is ranked 157,111^th in the world and 3^rd in Banfield for Largest Populations, with 3.96 billion capita.
