The United States of Stephanie Abrams is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, soft-spoken computers, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 12.076 billion Stephanie Abramsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Stephanie Abramsian economy, worth 451 trillion Platinums 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 37,364 Platinums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, foreign nationals are widely distrusted, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Stephanie Abrams's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Stephanie Abrams is ranked 101,817^th in the world and 39^th in The Gallery for Most Corrupt Governments, with 12.41 kickbacks per hour.
