The United States of Parmerica is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jonathan Archer with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.557 billion Parmericans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington Federal District. The average income tax rate is 13.7%.

The very strong Parmerican economy, worth 241 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 68,028 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, rumor has it that Jonathan Archer has won three lotteries in a row, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and Jonathan Archer has just been declared ruler of Parmerica in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Parmerica's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Parmerica is ranked 143,107^th in the world and 2^nd in New Millennium for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
