The United Stratocratic States of The Strategic Air Command is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Curtis LeMay with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.326 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 Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Offutt Air Force Base. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.
The frighteningly efficient SAC economy, worth an astonishing 33,122 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 1,258,164 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,545,193 per year while the poor average 130,615, a ratio of 50.1 to 1.
Women who leak pus from infected wounds are told to suck it up, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills. 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 41st in the world and 1st in The Allied States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 335.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
