The Magnificent People's State of 001AmEricA100 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cecil Wallace Fantuul-Rattigan V esq with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.121 billion AmEricAns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rickard Pentulisland. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient AmEricAn economy, worth a remarkable 2,614 trillion Finks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 144,279 Finks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Wargaloob Dung" has been declared a national treasure, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 001AmEricA100's national animal is the Wargaloob, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

001AmEricA100 is ranked 25,613^th in the world and 3^rd in Taijitu for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,231.67 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
