The Alfred F Jones Republic of Greater North American Confederacy is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alfred F Jones with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 16.513 billion Americans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York City. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 2,123 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 128,593 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Female smokers cut their hair and don suits to get into male-only clubs, it's a miracle that there aren't more plane crashes, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater North American Confederacy's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Greater North American Confederacy is ranked 63,092^nd in the world and 3,638^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 4,227.4 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
