The United States of Visual States is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Fernando Álvarez de Toledo with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, enslaved workforce, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.331 billion Seers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of JavaCity. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Seeing economy, worth a remarkable 6,683 trillion shards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 328,732 shards, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,077,234 per year while the poor average 2,980, a ratio of 1,032 to 1.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-shard charge on their phone bill, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and retail boutiques encourage citizens to honor their military veterans by purchasing flag-patterned underwear. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Visual States's national animal is the python, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Visual States is ranked 288,881^st in the world and 2^nd in Crassia for Most Primitive, scoring -575.14 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
