The United Stratocratic States of The Strategic Air Command is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Curtis LeMay with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.175 billion Airmen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Offutt Air Force Base. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.2%.
The frighteningly efficient SAC economy, worth an astonishing 32,659 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 1,247,723 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,531,512 per year while the poor average 127,876, a ratio of 51.1 to 1.
Many believe that the only good Falcon is a dead Falcon, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Strategic Air Command's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
The Strategic Air Command is ranked 306,699th in the world and 24th in The Allied States for Most Cultured, scoring -776 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
