The United States of America of Republic of Callaxium is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Daniel Wilson with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.789 billion Americans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient American economy, worth a remarkable 2,332 trillion United States Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 299,420 United States Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against American ambassadors, the military is plagued with unethical researchers, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Callaxium's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Republic of Callaxium is ranked 4,547^th in the world and 1^st in The Sovereign States for Most Developed, scoring 94.49 on the Human Development Index.
