The Imperial Consortium of Like Murica is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Donald John Trump with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.822 billion Muricans 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, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Like Murican economy, worth a remarkable 9,166 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is a breathtaking 579,327 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,362,648 per year while the poor average 6,025, a ratio of 889 to 1.
The government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, distant and obscure male relatives succeed to the Like Murican throne, and a citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Like Murica's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.
Like Murica is ranked 17,077th in the world and 526th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,725.96 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
