The Federal Republic of United States of Medford is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Jack Nelson with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 5.941 billion Medfordians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newice. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Medfordian economy, worth a remarkable 1,232 trillion Medford Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,434 Medford Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, and petitioners are increasingly resorting to climbing through President Jack Nelson's window to draw attention to their issues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United States of Medford's national animal is the Medford, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church Of Medford.

United States of Medford is ranked 5,496^th in the world and 293^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 39.27 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
