The United Stratocratic States of The Strategic Air Command is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Curtis LeMay with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.485 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with 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. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient SAC economy, worth an astonishing 15,138 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is a breathtaking 776,950 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,302,815 per year while the poor average 70,608, a ratio of 60.9 to 1.

Giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, and everyone apparently sends General Curtis LeMay hair-filled lockets, offers to die heroically, and poetic desires to co-parent a child. 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 239,170^th in the world and 27^th in The Allied States for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -10 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
