The United States of Federal Remnants is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Abraham Miller with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.501 billion Americans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Washington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Federal Remnantsian economy, worth 200 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 133,692 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,018,680 per year while the poor average 4,833, a ratio of 210 to 1.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty", and the government's only official statement on the burning down of New Washington was that 'they shouldn't have been so careless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Federal Remnants's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is American Esotericism.

Federal Remnants is ranked 76,725^th in the world and 1^st in Florida Man Puppet Fiefdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.71 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
